The application of copyright law to moving image materials (films and
videos) is particularly complex. Anyone who preserves or uses such
materials needs to understand the impact of copyright on their work.

Through lecture, examples, discussion, and case studies, this course
presents the copyright rules that apply specifically to moving image
materials and their application within the overall context of the Canadian
Copyright Act. Participants will learn about the complex rules for
calculating ownership and duration of copyright.  They will also learn how
to analyze a copyright problem and how to administer copyright in a film
and video collection.  The course includes the following topics:

* An overview of the Copyright Act and how it works
* The rules that apply to films and videos
* A systematic approach to analyzing a copyright problem
* Your responsibilities as a user of others' films and videos
* Government plans for copyright reform

TARGET AUDIENCE
Librarians, archivists and museum curators who are responsible for
collections of moving image materials; film-makers wishing to know more
about their rights, and anyone who uses moving image materials in their
work.
