Call to self-employed in Film/AV cultural productions: complete the questionnaire on your assignment requirements

Assignment work in the film/AV industry is often challenging and fun, but in terms of assignment conditions, it can also be a tricky search at times. Whether you’re an actor, on set in some other capacity, writing the script, designing clothes, working in post-production, or otherwise involved, assignment terms everywhere have a big impact on how you can do your job and shape your career. What do your assignment terms look like? What do you and don’t you get compensated for? Can you negotiate rates and other terms? Answers to these questions help form a full picture of the current assignment conditions within the film/AV industry.

Therefore, we cordially invite working people to complete this questionnaire.

The questionnaire is an initiative of the chain table Film/AV cultural productions of Platform ACCT, program fairPACCT, and is intended to gain better insight into the assignment conditions for self-employed people involved in making feature films, short films, documentaries, animation, series and innovative media productions. The chain table brings together stakeholders from across the sector to develop proposals and solutions to strengthen the position of self-employed workers.

What do we use your input for?

The results of the survey will be used to compile guidelines for making clear agreements between you and your client prior to your assignment. The guidelines will be published on the website of Platform ACCT, program fairPACCT, in the course of 2024.

Good to know:

• Your response is anonymous. Your responses will be kept confidential.
• The questions are intended for self-employed individuals (zzp’ers) involved in cultural productions in film/AV.
• Completion takes half an hour at most.
• You can complete the survey through May 9, 2024.

We thank you very much in advance for your cooperation!
