Code of Best Practices on Creative Reuse for Documentary Filmmakers

This Code of Best Practices aims to help documentary filmmakers make informed decisions around the lawful reuse of existing materials in filmmaking. It is based on the views and statements collected through a series of workshops with documentary filmmakers from the UK and the Netherlands. While the legal considerations included in this document refer primarily to UK and Dutch copyright law, this Code is written in such a way that it aims to be relevant to other European jurisdictions too.
