The Performer's Related Rights In Cinematographic Works

Cinematographic works, which are one of the types of works protected in accordance with the Law on Intellectual and Artistic Works numbered 5846 ("IPL"), are defined as "works such as films of an artistic, scientific, educational or technical nature or films recording daily events or movies, that consist of a series of related moving images with or without sound and which, regardless of the material in which they are fixed, can be shown by the use of electronic or mechanical or similar devices".

In order for a product produced in accordance with the IPL to be accepted and to be protected as a cinematographic work, that work must meet the conditions of i) bearing the character of its author, ii) being completed to a certain level, and iii) having a series of moving images. A work that has these conditions will be able to benefit from the protection and rights granted within the scope of the cinematographic work in the IPL.
