We would like to draw your attention to a major publication on documentary filmmakers’ use of copyright materials. The Code of Best Practices on Creative Reuse for Documentary Filmmakers (2022) is specifically tailored to UK (and Dutch) copyright law and is designed to raise filmmakers’ awareness of the opportunities to legally reuse content without having to secure permission. The creation of the Code was one of the recommendations in the Making it Real report so we’re delighted to be able to share it here and want to congratulate its authors, Bartolomeo Meletti and Stef van Gompel, on what will prove to be an extremely valuable resource for our community.
