Talk: How Did They Do It?

Sports Footage Licensing for the Documentaries “FC Hollywood” and “Mädchen können kein Fußball spielen

Sports rights can make or break documentary storytelling. In this practical session, we map the rights landscape, clarify what often seems opaque from the outside, and outline workable routes through it. Using two case studies, “Mädchen können kein Fußball spielen” (“Girls Can’t Play Football”) and “FC Hollywood”, we examine archive budgets, differing rights regimes across leagues and countries, and how access, cost, and gaps in material shape narrative choices. We also discuss women’s sport and historical events, and what to do when key moments are missing or unaffordable - from creative sourcing to narrative reframing.

Keynote: Archival Tools

What Happens After the Rough Cut?

Kasimir Marks (Gruppe 5 Filmproduktion) provides insights into the crucial final stages of a project from an archive producer’s point of view and shares some of the tools of the trade and the odd surprising anecdote. Discussing the considerations that help you to deliver on time and on budget, this keynote gives an overview of the licensing process from rough cut to delivery as well as the final documentation and even archiving for the next project. How can understanding the differences in pricing models save you money? What can directors, editors and post-production do to help keep down costs and how much time do you need to allow to secure the best possible footage? This is how knowing the details, shortcuts and pitfalls of archive production can make the difference to your film.
