FootageFest ‘20 Goes Virtual
/Although the organizers of FootageFest '20 cancelled their Fall conference in Los Angeles earlier this year, the success of their recent webinars has proven that a virtual conference will be heavily attended. AMCUP -- the trade organization that created FootageFest three years ago -- has produced a half-dozen webinars over the COVID lockdown, covering such popular topics as licensing viral videos and acquiring news content, highlighted by none other than one of Heather Bennett's amazing legal panels -- all of which have had an average of 100-120 viewers!
FootageFest '20 will be streaming during the week of October 12th -- and will be absolutely free to view and participate in nearly 20 webinars and virtual events. Produced by Founders Steven Kozak and Dominic Dare, this is just a sample of the eclectic panels:
Acquiring Famous Political Moments in History
International Fair Use Panel, featuring attorneys from Canada, Mexico, US and the UK
Acquiring and Using Celebrity Content
Tools and Short Cuts for Researching Documentaries
Licensing Content to Film & TV Studios
