Submission on Directors Copyright - 2000

Summary of Recommendations

• Copyright should be granted to directors where they give a film an original character.
• Copyright should be granted to cinematographers because they create the visual images of a film.
• The visual images of a film should be protected in the same way as a work of photography.
• The provision of a separate copyright for film should not have detracted from the rights enjoyed by directors and cinematographers.
• Section 10 of the Copyright Act should define a frame,  taken from a cinematograph film, as a photograph
• The cinematographer should be defined as the author of the visual images of a cinematograph film.
