Licensing Content from African Continent
Zoom - Online, 16:00 to 17:00 (GMT)
FOCAL and #PreserveAfricaArchives Partnered On 'Licensing Content From African Continent'
#PreserveAfricaArchives - the initiative dedicated to preserving sound and audiovisual assets in Africa - and the Federation of Commercial Audiovisual Libraries (FOCAL) are delighted to announce their new partnership.
In this workshop, we explored what material (stills, footage, audio) are available from across the continent. We discussed the complexities of searching content, the best route into the market and the work being undertaken to digitize archives to increase access and unlock content. We asked the panellists if there are territorial or moral rights that need to be taken into consideration as well as what is happening in the African market today and the vision for the future.
The Panel:
