● the source is attributed, where possible;
● if the performance is included in a public defence of a thesis, this is done free of charge and the audience or viewership is primarily teaching staff and students, or other individuals (parents, guardians, carers, etc.) who are directly associated with the educational institution where the work is presented publicly;
● the reproduction of the work in digital form and the dissemination to the public takes place only in a secure electronic environment accessible only to students/teaching staff of the educational institution.

Baltic Film, Media and Arts Institute (BFM) of Tallinn University students may, by agreement between the Association and BFM, use audiovisual works created in the course of their studies only for study-related purposes. The producer of such an audiovisual work is deemed to be BFM, not the student.
An actor’s participation is recorded as a participant’s consent. The consent is given by the Association member who participates in the work as an actor. Download the consent form here.
If the completed audiovisual work is to be used outside educational purposes (paid or unpaid festivals, events, various platforms), the distribution channels, conditions, and period shall be agreed between BFM and the Estonian Actors’ Association (ENL).
