Audiovisual production at national level is governed by industrial agreements. These agreements are undepinned by statutes such as copyright and labour laws, but they are specific to the parameters and demands of film and TV production.

From a producer’s perspective, agreements and standard contracts are a constantly evolving process. The expectations of talent and technicians’ unions change with the times and the evolution of media technologies call for frequent adjustments, renegotiations and rewrites.

At a time when the market for production location is rapidly turning global, when studios and independent alike choose to look to save costs by looking around the world for the best combination of facilities, crews and locations, the need for an exchange of information between producers on industrial relations issues has never been more pronounced.

Over time, the FIAPF website will offer a unique comparative resource on production contracts, relevant to both producers and researchers in the field.
