Rights of use and Third party rights
The person submitting the film (hereinafter “the applicant”) Insofar as the film contains rights under copyright law as well as other rights (e.g. personal rights such as the right to one's own image) (hereinafter "rights"), the applicant grants the rights required for the performance of this contract (e.g. festival) as well as for press and public relations work, in each case off- and online (e.g. streaming, upload and download), on a non-exclusive basis.
Music-related and, if applicable, choreography-related rights to the submitted film (also ancillary copyrights to music recordings, rights of sound carrier producers, film production rights) and thereby also those which have already been licensed to a collecting society (e.g. GEMA) and which the collecting society can dispose of without restriction, are included in the granting of rights under this contract. In this respect, the Parties agree that applicant shall take care of this granting of rights and pay for the costs.
The applicant guarantees that he or she has obtained consent to grant rights from any and all third parties, i.e. owners, creators, writers, producers and/or other authorized representatives of the film or engaged with the production of the film. In particular, the applicant warrants that all rights required for the performance of this contract are freely transferable, can be granted and do not infringe any third-party rights. With reference to the aforementioned warranty promise, applicant indemnifies Moovy TanzFilmFestival (hereinafter “Moovy”) against all third-party claims resulting from the use of the rights granted. Such grants, consent and warrant are a condition for the possibility of submitting the film to Moovy. In return for the aforementioned grant of rights, the applicant receives the opportunity to use the reach and audience of Moovy for themselves and their work.
Following the main event Moovy Cologne - special screenings may be programmed in order to promote the artist’s work and share it with a wider audience. By submitting a film the artist agrees to these special screenings.
If the Festival or the screenings cannot take place due to official prohibitions, through no fault of either party, for example due to COVID-19, force majeure (e.g. in the event of a natural disaster), etc., an alternative date or another possible form (e.g. online screening) will be sought, whereby the alternative event/form must make organizational and artistic sense.
The films selected for the festival program will be kept in the film collection of the German Dance Archive Cologne after the festival. The archive protects the copyrights, does not copy the films and does not lend them out. The German Dance Archive Cologne is purely a reference library and video library; online viewing is not possible. The films can only be viewed in the archive. If visitors are interested in the films, the German Dance Archive will be happy to put them in contact with the artists.
Attending the festival:
Film selection is not based in the artist’s availability to attend the festival. We invite and encourage all artists to attend Moovy, however we cannot provide travel and accommodation expenses.
