Fair Dealing Roadshow: Toronto

After Winnipeg in October, and Montreal in November, the Documentary Organization of Canada / l’Association des documentaristes du Canada (DOC) hits the road again with its National Fair Dealing Road Show, this time in Toronto on January 27, 2011. The cross-Canada event is a comprehensive effort to educate the documentary community, foster dialogue and identify common positions or points of contention around the issue of Fair Dealing and documentary filmmaking.

The National Fair Dealing Road Show aims to introduce potential users to DOC’s Copyright and Fair Dealing - Guidelines for Documentary Filmmakers, published in May 2010.  Filmmakers are encouraged to bring their “war stories” on copyright and to engage on case studies presented for discussion. As an exercise in building community-based consensus the panels also discuss copyright myths and argue whether a particular use of copyright-protected material would meet the Fair Dealing exclusion or not.
 
Moderator: Lisa Fitzgibbons, DOC, Executive Director
 
Panelists:
Barry Avrich, Melbar Entertainment Group
Debbie Schween, APTN, Legal Affairs
Robin Smith, KinoSmith, CEO
Bob Tarantino, Heenan Blaikie, Lawyer

DOC National gratefully acknowledges the support of presenting partners Ryerson University and DOC Toronto.
