Right from the Start: Copyright Data That Works

How do film archives research, create, and structure the information that underpins copyright decisions, and what gets in the way? This one-day conference brings practitioners together for hands-on knowledge exchange, practical case studies, and honest discussion about challenges and opportunities in rights metadata: from workflows and data models to documentation and discovery.

Speakers include Kay Foubister from the National Library of Scotland Moving Image Archive, Adelheid Heftberger from the Bundesarchiv (German Federal Archive), Louise McAward-White, Nicola Regan and Annabelle Shaw from the BFI, Rob Scott from Axiell, Claudy Op den Kamp from Bournemouth University, Bartolomeo Meletti from the University of Glasgow and Kay Page from Northbound Media Consultants. Alongside talks and panels, a collaborative co-creation session will surface shared problems and prototype solutions.

Join us to connect with peers, compare approaches, and shape copyright data that actually works in practice.
