Hi All – Does anyone have any experience with film productions shooting around their public art collections?

 

Is it necessary for film productions to get permission from the artist and/or from the municipality/province/state as the artwork owner to use a public artwork in their film? Would they be required to credit the work/artist at the end of the film?

 

My provincial colleague is asking about a large public artwork owned by the province that will be included in scenes shot near our Law Courts building.

 

Thanks in advance for sharing your knowledge!
