There's no way around it - no matter how strong or skilled you are - you
still have to learn about copyrights!

To make a film you have to make sure you have the right to shot at the location you’ve found, and to screen the film – at a festival or in a cinema (even the smallest student film festival or the tiniest cinema) you have to be able to prove that the copyright is in order.

As a student at the European Film College you will be guided through both rights and copyrights in a film production. Whether you plan to apply to a film school, to work in a production company or follow your own personal path into filmmaking - rights and copyrights will be part of it, and this is why we require from the teachers at European Film College that they explain and teach you in these matters.

All films made at the school need to be legally produced according to the regulations of right and copyright. This ensures that EFC productions can be used for TV screenings, festival screenings, film competitions etc.
