3/3: What about “fair use?” This is a difficult and murky area of the legal world, so if you want to make a case that you have the right to use copyrighted material, you may do so, but keep it to a minimum, please!
Fine cuts are welcomed, but may only be screened on our website.
2/3: You must be the creator of all material in the film, unless you are using material for which copyright has lapsed or you have gotten permission to use the material. This includes both visuals and music.
