Film-making consent form

The Center for Nonviolent Communication (CNVC) and the IIT Romania (04-13 July 2024) Trainer team would like to collect video footage from this event to inform others about what this event is like and to spread Nonviolent Communication (NVC) around the world. In addition, we would like to provide memories to you of the people you met and the experiences that you had. Are you willing to help us with this?

We have invited a professional filmmaker Martin Schneider-Lau (www.avmgmbh.de) from Germany, who plans to create a 10-minute film about this intensive training. We are grateful that he is volunteering his time and that he is willing to contribute this gift to our organization.

Here is the process that we will follow:

The filming will begin on the 6th day of the IIT (9th of July) so that everyone can orient themselves to the experience and get to know their fellow participants and the trainers before filming begins.
The trainer team will introduce the filmmaker to the participants on the 9th of July and share more about his vision and how the video will be created.
If you do NOT want to appear in the video, the organizers will describe how you can avoid having your video taken in the first place. At any moment the film-maker will start operating, together with the on-site trainer, he will offer the best possible strategy to anyone who does not want to appear on the video, while ensuring the quality of the learning experience of everyone present in the space.

By signing this agreement, you agree and consent as follows:

A. I consent and authorize the Center for Nonviolent Communication, to use my likeness in a video that is taken by the professional film-maker at this International Intensive Training in Romania, in any and all of its publications, including web-based publications such as their website and social media accounts.
