Description
Archival Storytelling is an essential, pragmatic guide to one of the most challenging issues facing filmmakers today:
the use of images and music that belong to someone else. Where do producers go for affordable stills and footage? How do filmmakers evaluate
the historical value of archival materials? What do verite producers need to know when documenting a world filled with rights-protected
images and sounds? How do filmmakers protect their own creative efforts from infringement?
Filled with advice and insight from filmmakers,
archivists, film researchers, music supervisors, intellectual property experts, insurance executives and others, Archival Storytelling
defines key terms?copyright, fair use, public domain, orphan works and more?and challenges filmmakers to become not only archival users
but also archival and copyright activists, ensuring their ongoing ability as creators to draw on the cultural materials that surround
them.
Features conversations with industry leaders including Patricia Aufderheide, Hubert Best, Peter Jaszi, Jan Krawitz, Lawrence Lessig,
Stanley Nelson, Rick Prelinger, Geoffrey C. Ward and many others.
