Dialogue on Contracts: What Should and Shouldn't Be In a Contract

Contracts can define or derail creative collaborations. In this interactive panel-workshop, attorney-at-law Priit Lätt and composer Helena Tulve come together to demystify the essentials of film composer agreements. Using a sample contract as their guide, they will explore what should and shouldn’t be included, while illustrating their insights with real-life examples from legal and artistic perspectives. This dialogue offers both practical guidance and cautionary examples, helping participants better understand rights, responsibilities, and potential pitfalls. Designed for composers, producers, directors, and anyone working at the intersection of music and film, the session provides tools to enter negotiations more confidently and build stronger, fairer collaborations.
