Some archives add visible logos to restored films shared online, despite viewer complaints, to maintain attribution and funder credits. Others charge access fees for public domain works without claiming rights. The question remains: how can institutions protect investments while keeping public domain materials accessible?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body\">The workshop examined whether restoration itself might be copyrightable. With no case law directly addressing copyright in film restorations, archives navigate uncertain territory about what constitutes \u2018creative\u2019 versus technical work.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body\">The workshop deliberately offered no definitive answers. As Strnad noted, the goal was learning \u2018from each other\u2014to get to know our current situation better.\u2019<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CIPPM\u2019s Claudy Op den Kamp joined colleagues from film archives worldwide for FIAF\u2019s workshop \u2018Restoring the Past, Funding the Future\u2019 on 16 January 2025.
