RESEARCH AND RIGHTS CLEARANCE – BOOKS, FILM, VIDEO AND MUSIC LYRICS
Saturday, October 25, 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
1200 Atwater Avenue, Atwater Library Auditorium
Workshop leader: Elizabeth Klinck
This session will be invaluable for all writers, screenwriters and documentary filmmakers to learn about navigating the world of research and clearances. In this workshop we will be exploring three separate areas of research:
1. Content/Editorial Research:
- • Where to go to conduct research
- • How to approach people and organizations
- • How to find and record information
Techniques include:
- • Internet research, solving privacy and permission conundrums, gaining and securing access.
2. Visual Research: We will learn how to find the best sources of visual material – photographs, archival film, graphics, and maps. Discussion will include:
- • Expected payment for designated uses.
- • An approach to permissions and clearances to eliminate nasty surprises.
3. Lyric and Music Clearances:
- • Creative tips on how to clear music and lyrics with a budget in mind.
Elizabeth Klinck has been called "the Queen of Canadian film and TV researchers," having worked as researcher and clearance specialist on hundreds of international documentaries that have garnered Emmy, Gemini, Peabody and Academy awards. Elizabeth was recently nominated for an Emmy award and received the FOCAL UK Lifetime Achievement Award. She has taught at Ryerson, and has led research and rights clearance workshops in Canada and abroad.
