514 Q SCREEN ACTORS GUILD CONTACr: HARRY MEDVED FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE (213) 549-6651 MAY 31. 1995 The National Board of Directors of the Screeo Actors Guild recently gave their full support to two ground-breaking bills that will provide artists with more control over what happens to movies after they have been made and will protect their performances from being altered. The Theatrical Motion Picture Authorship Act of 1995, introduced by Rep. John Biyant, D-Tcxas, would give directors, cinematographers and writers recourse in federal court to stop copyright holders who alter films without their permission. The Fihn Labeling Act of 1995 would require studios to attach more exteiuive and complete labels to movies that have been altered. Rep. Barney Frank, D-Mass., along with Sen. Alan Simpson, R-Wyu., is sponsoring this truth-in-advertising biU, which would necessitate, if passed, that a specified message be placed on the screen or video cassette box stating exactly what changes have been made in the film after its first release. These two bills will be winding their way through various Congressional committees in the coming months. # # #
