A special event by the AG DOK in co-operation with exground filmfest

Shooting a documentary film involves a ton of potential (legal) pitfalls: music is playing in the background on the radio on the filming site, a filmed protagonist no longer wants to participate, a mayor bans the film team from a public assembly, the filmmaker wants to use an excerpt filmed off of TV news or, God forbid, even an old advertisement. Lawyer Guido Hettinger, an executive producer and legal production counsel for international documentary film productions in addition to being an experienced media attorney, will explain the most important things to look out for here.
