. Films - Can I include images of artistic works in my film?
Generally you do need permission from the relevant copyright owners in the artistic works. However, there is a copyright exemption which allows “incidental” copying of certain works included in a film. For example, if a scene shows a painting on the wall in the background, it is likely to be incidental copying.
Buildings, sculptures, models for buildings and works of “artistic craftsmanship” that are permanently displayed or open to the public can be filmed and the film commercialised without infringing copyright.
If you are intending to release your film in another country, you may need specialist legal advice on the extent to which you can rely on these exceptions.
