M. Kukuljica, Nove europske inicijative u filmskoj arhivskoj pravnoj praksi, Arh. vjesn., god. 40 (1997) str. 119-138 Europian Associtaion of Film Archives (ACE) organizing meeting in Lisabon of experts on audiovisual law, representatives of Europian film archives and representatives of FIAF, FIAD (film distributers), FLAP (film producers) and FERA (organisation of film authors). On that meeting new Code of Etics was considered in details as a new platform for negotiations with film producers in Europe. In this article a very detailed comment was written about General Regulations Concerning Trust Deposit of Motion Picture Prints with Film Archives that was accepted by FIAF in 1971. This document was never presented in Croatian archival practice. It explains why confrontation between archives and producers is at the present time so strong. At the same time it helps to understand new approaches to this very complicated problem. Special attention was given and widely discussed about the Draft of Europian Convention on Protection of Europian Audiovisual Heritage. Problem of legal and voluntary deposit was explained and some good experiences about it from the successfull work of Croatian Cinemateque is presented. Author of this articles suggests that a new categorisation of film archives must be done in FIAF and ACE. The next step is to start with the collective negotiations with film producers in Council in Europe with the demand for acceptance of positions that are in mutual interest: to preserve the Europian audiovisual heritage. 138
