I know each country has different laws regarding the publication of copyright-free stills. I think in Japan one can freely use pictures from a movie if it has been produced before 1978. Can anybody confirm or help me finding out the exact low?</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Thank you in advance.</div><div><br></div><div>Best regards,</div><div><br></div><div>Roberta Novielli</div></span></div></div></span></div></span></div><br class=""></div><br class=""><br class=""></div><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Helvetica;font-size:12px">_________________________</span><div style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Helvetica;font-size:12px"><br><div><div style="word-wrap:break-word"><div style="word-wrap:break-word"><span class="" style="border-collapse:separate;border-spacing:0px"><div style="word-wrap:break-word"><div>Maria Roberta Novielli</div><div><div>Associate Professor</div><div>Japanese Cinema and Literature</div></div><div><br></div><div>Artistic Direction and Overall Organization</div><div>Ca’ Foscari Short Film Festival</div><div><a href="http://cafoscarishort.unive.it/">http://cafoscarishort.unive.it</a></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Ca' Foscari University - Venice</div><div>Department of Philosophy and Cultural Heritage<br>Palazzo Malcanton-Marcorà<br>Dorsoduro 3484/d<br>30123 VENEZIA</div><div><br>e mail: </div><div><a href="mailto:novielli@unive.it">novielli@unive.it</a></div><div><a href="mailto:cafoscarishort@unive.it">cafoscarishort@unive.it</a></div></div></span></div></div></div></div></div>
