Copyright

  • If participants record a tutor, or material presented by a tutor during a workshop, permission must first be sought from the tutor. Workshop material copyright remains with Far South Film and the Tutor(s), and material can only be used by the participant for personal use – it may not be further copied, sold, published, broadcast, shared or uploaded to the Internet.
  • Participants may use material that they have filmed themselves at the workshop for a show reel, provided permission has been obtained from any other third parties involved in the film and the showreel is for private purposes only (eg to send to an agent, or as part of an application for entry to a tertiary education institution).
  • Participants are responsible for ensuring that audio/video/images in their films do not breach copyright, that permissions are obtained and that artists are credited as per licensing requirements.
  • If participants wish to submit films made during a workshop to festivals, they must obtain written permission from Far South Film – contact us.

Health & Safety

  • All tutors are required to have a verified Working With Children Check and to follow the Child Safe Standards.
  • Parents/guardians of any participants under 18 are entitled to request details from Far South Film of any tutor to verify the tutor’s status on the Working With Children Check website.
  • Smoking, drugs and alcohol are not permitted anywhere at the workshop venue at any time. Any tutor or participant believed to be under the influence of drugs or alcohol will be refused entry to the workshop.
  • By enrolling in the workshop, participants (or their parent/guardian) acknowledge that workshop activities can be physical and may involve the risk of accidents.
  • Participants or their parent/guardian must advise Far South Film in advance if the participant has health problems, special needs and/or needs medication while attending a course. Tutors cannot be responsible for the administration of medication or ensuring suitable health precautions are in place to suit all participants.
  • Should a Tutor deem it necessary for an ambulance to be called, the cost will be incurred by their participant (or their guardian/parent).
  • All illness/injuries during workshops must be reported to the Tutor.
