The film’s producer must acquire these rights contractually and individually. Special regulations apply to performers’ participation (actors, singers, dancers etc) in the film production. They are entitled to specific ancillary copyrights. The film producer is entitled to ancillary copyrights both as producer of moving pictures and of sound carriers. The copyright of cinematographic works expires 70 years after the death of the last principal author of the work i.e. the director, author of the screenplay, author of dialogue and the composer of score.
