Part 3 · Special provisions on films  ›  Division 1 · Cinematographic works › Section 88

Right to make film

(1) If the author permits another person to make a film of his or her work, then, in cases of doubt, this is deemed to involve the granting of the exclusive right to use the work in unaltered form or following adaptation or transformation in the production of a cinematographic work and to use the cinematographic work, as well as translations and other cinematographic adaptations in all manner of uses. Section 31a (1) sentence 4 and 5 and (2) to (4) does not apply.

(2) The entitlements designated in subsection (1) do not entitle the work to be re-filmed. The author is authorised to exploit his or her work cinematically in another manner after the expiry of 10 years following the conclusion of the contract. Derogation from sentence 2 to the detriment of the author is possible only by an agreement which is based on a joint remuneration agreement (section 36) or collective agreement.

(3) (repealed)
