This one-day event - delivered as part of the AHRC funded Tracking IP
Across the Creative Technologies project - will explore key
contributions to the field of remixing, restyling and repurposing
existing audiovisual material (sourced from archives, and both the
commercial and public domains) in contemporary filmmaking practice.

Featuring critically and/or politically motivated examples alongside
artistic and creative narrative driven experimentations, speakers at the
event present and consider these works alongside established film
industry practices through the lens of intellectual property.

A panel of creators, academics and IP law specialists from the UK, US
and EU will debate the opportunities, challenges and futures of
audiovisual content reuse in the context of the currently shifting sands
of territory specific intellectual property legislation set against the
wider backdrop of the global digital economy.
