Commercialisation of Audiovisual Archives – What Are the Issues?
COMMERCIALISATION OF AUDIOVISUAL ARCHIVES – WHAT ARE THE ISSUES? Sue Malden Abstract /Introduction This will be a presentation about the activities of FOCAL International (The Federation of Commercial Audiovisual Archives) and the commercial aspects of the audiovisual archive business. FOCAL is an international organization that represents over 150 audiovisual libraries/archives throughout the world , as well as many researchers, consultants and service providers. We offer a support service to archives with regard to commercial issues, copyright, preservation and training requirements. Recent proposals in IPR protection are likely to have a considerable effect on the commercial use of audiovisual archives and therefore future developments in this sector which will be included in the presentation. This paper will cover a range of topics relevant to the commercial audiovisual archives business, namely, • Analysis of Archive profiles and how these might determine the attitude to promotion and commercial exploitation • Reasons for archiving – reuse of archive content • Categories of uses/sales/users • Rights Management - Legal issues, particularly those affecting the UK Audiovisual archive business • Record keeping • Marketing: o The Business Strategy objectives o The Marketing strategy o Services o Role of researchers o Promotion of Archive Services o Identification of users o Methods of Trading - Business Practices: rates, licensing, relations with users • About FOCAL International Archive Profiles There will be many different reasons for -

POV Community Engagement & Education DISCUSSION GUIDE Iris A Film by Albert Maysles www.pbs.org/pov LETTER FROM THE FILM TEAM As a documentarian, I happily place my fate and faith in real- ity. It is my caretaker, the provider of subjects, themes, ex- periences—all endowed with the power of truth and the romance of discovery. And the closer I adhere to reality the more honest and authentic my tales. After all, the knowledge of the real world is exactly what we need to better under- stand and therefore possibly to love one another. It’s my way of making the world a better place. Albert Maysles (1926-2015) Director, Iris Filmmaker Albert Maysles. Photo courtesy of Magnolia Pictures When fellow producer Jennifer Ash Rudick emailed Maysles Films to say she thought that fashion and design legend Iris Apfel could make a good subject for a film, we had a vague idea of who Iris might be, but we didn’t really un- derstand who she was until she came to our Harlem office and sat for a short meeting that ended up lasting hours. My father was so excited to work on a film about Iris. He loved her style, her storytelling and her drive. Although I had worked with him on so many endeavors, from restructuring Maysles Films to assisting on shoots, this was the first time that I collaborated with him on a film—and it was the most intense project yet. It was an amazing ex- perience. It was beautiful to watch my dad film Iris, calmly and patiently with curiosity and persistence. -

SYNOPSIS Where to Invade Next is an expansive, rib-tickling, and subversive comedy in which Moore, playing the role of “invader,” visits a host of nations to learn how the U.S. could improve its own prospects. The creator of Fahrenheit 9/11 and Bowling for Columbine is back with this hilarious and eye-opening call to arms. Turns out the solutions to America’s most entrenched problems already exist in the world—they’re just waiting to be co-opted. DIRECTOR Q&A What were the origins of this project? It really started when I was 19 years old. -
