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 
Stay tuned at www.footagefest.com for more panel announcements, rare speakers -- and international partners and sponsors that will make this week the must-view event of the year.
