The Copyright Amendment (Film Directors’ Rights) Act granted directors a share of film retransmission royalties for films produced after 19 December 2005. However, the Act does not specify what the director’s share of the retransmission royalties is. The rights of a director to a film are limited to a right to receive a share of the retransmission royalties to be collected by Screenrights, unless otherwise expressed in the contract.
