Want to incorporate music into a soundtrack?
The music makes the movie. Since the pianist who accompanied the silent film until today, the connection between the picture and the sound is an integral part of the experience. A feature or documentary film, a student film or an educational film - any use of a musical or literary work in an audio-visual work requires obtaining a license from ACUM. The license is granted according to the tariff, except in cases where the creators have excluded the use of their works in this area. In these cases, the customer must contact the creator or his representative directly.
Any sale of content/original production for use abroad requires a prior written application to ACUM in order to obtain a license subject to the payment of royalties, even if the first broadcast/screening (in Israel) was made under a license from ACUM.
