The extension of the term in years and the extensionof 4 or 5 years over the topic of Directors, Screenwriters and Composers was a lot of work and we finallymade it. Now, what we are trying to figure out is how Directors, Screenwriters and Composers can be positioned\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe protection period of the author\u2019s rights law was originally of 40 years, then 50 and now we managed to make it 70. The projects were treated after the national elections since among the legislators of the \u201cFrente Amplio\u201d there was no consensus on the extension to 70 years of protection. However, this wasn\u2019t the case of directors, screenwriters and composers. There was an emotional treatment and the amendment of article 29 was achieved\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe administrative authority removed from the Project \u201cnecessary collective management\u201d, but in a country that seeks to permanently protect its creators and to encourage creations, not only must collective rights\u2019 management be necessary but also mandatory. This categorization is essential, we tried, but they removed it\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIn Uruguay, it is very complicated to create an association and this is due to costs. It is a very small market that tends to develop itself. AGADU has a trajectory of 90 yearsand I\u2019m certain that the audiovisual field will grow a lot. It is very hard to transmit the joy I feel.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIn the city of Cartagena, where I was part of the Annual Congress of Latin American Audiovisual Authors\u2019 Federation of the FESAAL, AGADU being part of the Federation, I requested the assembly to carry out the next FESAAL Congress in Punta del Este and my initiative was approved. The new government is very close, so, possibly, I can assure that the Minister of Culture will be present and I will try to make the President of the country accompany us.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cTruthfully, I feel very happy; almost every member of FESAAL has called me. This is why you work, and, after all, all this work becomes a reality.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery aligncenter columns-1 is-cropped\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li
