Several Dutch film directors and producers are complaining about the use of their film titles in a comic book on the history of Dutch cinema. The filmmakers did not give their consent for using the titles.
The comic book, called Filmfanfare, summarizes a famous Dutch film as a comic on each page. The project is a continuation of the project Mooi is dat!, in which 57 Dutch novels and plays were drawn as a comic. The initiators of this project, Dutch Film institute EYE, Film Foundation and Foundation BKVB, did not ask for permission for the use of the film concepts and titles in the comic book. Actually, the directors and producers didn’t know about the project Filmfanfare until they read it in the newspaper.
