An important panel for programming beginners! Learn how to find the rights holder for the movie you're dying to screen. This lively hands-on workshop will give you the basic tools and skills you need to start researching film rights for yourself. After brief introductions on the major film libraries, the first steps that experts take when starting to search for film rights, and a quick primer on which movies are really in the public domain, the session will break up into small groups led by experienced programmers and distributors. Each breakout group will then search for movie rights. Bring a list of titles that you want to find!
