LEGAL BOOTCAMP: INVESTIGATIVE BASICS FOR FILMMAKERS

October 15, 2022
11:30am
- 12:45pm
The District Architecture Center

A primer on legal rights and responsibilities for investigative journalists in print and film, and for filmmakers venturing into investigative territory. This session will familiarize you with recording laws and common legal issues documentarians can face while filming (e.g., intrusion, trespass), and provide tips on how to avoid them. Led by attorneys from the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press, this workshop will also discuss the shift toward more collaborative approaches with film protagonists, and the legal implications for investigative filmmakers. Workshop leaders will share legal resources that are available and field your questions at the end of the presentation.

Double Exposure offers a variety of festival passes that provide attendees with priority access to a range of events. We also offer a limited number of standalone tickets to individual events, providing a more flexible way to participate.
