The Black TV & Film Collective and The Filmmakers Legal Clinic have partnered on a monthly series of Know Your Rights: Legal Empowerment for Filmmakers series. Next up: a Mar 18th conversation on Fair Use and How to Legally Use Copyrighted Materials.
Fair use is a term that gets thrown around a great deal, but what exactly does it mean and how can you leverage it to make your life easier as a filmmaker? It is sometimes impossible not to capture trademarked or copy-written material content within the frame, so what’s a filmmaker to do? Don’t worry, the team from the Filmmakers Legal Clinic will be in the house.
During this chat they will break down exactly what fair use entails and when and how explicit permission is or is not required from copyright owners. Don’t miss this opportunity to work smarter not harder and meet the knowledgeable team from the Filmmakers Legal Clinic.
Hope to see you there!
Additional conversations in the series will happen in April! Stay tuned for more info on the series of legal empowerment sessions for our members.
