What exactly is Fair Use and when is it fair to use it?

The Documentary Filmmakers' Statement of Best Practices in Fair Use was published in 2005 by a consortium of independent media organizations, including Women in Film and Video/DC, the International Documentary Association, the IFP and the National Alliance of Media Arts and Culture. The Statement makes recommendations for the fair use of copyrighted material when making documentary films. This panel will review these recommendations and their practical applicability, and will explore the issues and risks facing documentary filmmakers in the area of fair use.
