    The Greatest Films Never Seen - The Film Archive and the Copyright Smokescreen with Dr Claudy Op den Kamp

    Orphan works, or artworks for which no copyright holder is traceable, pose a growing problem for museums, archives, and other heritage institutions. As they come under more and more pressure to digitize and share their archives, they are often hampered by the uncertain rights status of items in their collections. The Greatest Films Never Seen: The Film Archive and the Copyright Smokescreen uses the prism of copyright to reconsider human agency and the politics of the archive, and asks what the practical implications are for educational institutions, the creative industries, and the general public.

    Distributing Your Short Film - A Seminar with Wouter Jansen

    You made a short film, and what to do next? Nowadays it’s quite easy to find festivals, but it’s just as easy to lose track of what to do as there are so many festivals and new ones are popping up every day. Where do you start when you are working on your short film, what festivals to play at in the beginning and what choices should you make after having your premiere. How can you get the most out of your festival run? Or maybe you want to go for an online premiere straight away, and reach the biggest audience possible. In this workshop Marija Milovanovic from Lemonade Films (Austria) and Wouter Jansen from Some Shorts (Netherlands) will explain how you can get your short film out into the world in the best way possible. They will present examples of films they have worked with and talk about the mistakes they made so that you won’t have to make them.
