The Motion Pictures Committee’s mission is to organize and present meetings and educational programs dealing with all legal aspects of motion picture financing, development, production and distribution for practitioners who specialize in those areas and for attorneys who want to learn more about motion picture legal issues. The Committee presents several panels, lectures and discussions each year on traditional legal issues concerning motion pictures and cutting edge issues involving new technologies for producing and distributing motion pictures and new financing procedures. Many of these are presented in conjunction with other committees of the section.
