ALGyD

ALGyD is a non-profit network based in Buenos Aires, Argentina working on arts & culture.

ALGyD (Alianza Latinoamericana de Guionistas y Dramaturgos) is a civil non-profit alliance of copyright collective management societies for screenwriters and playwrights in Latin America. Its members include ARGENTORES, AGADU, ATN, REDES, GEDAR and SOGEM. The alliance works to create and strengthen author rights societies for screenwriters and playwrights in countries of the region where these rights are not yet recognised. It provides technical, legal, economic and know-how support to emerging societies, and works with CISAC's regional office for Latin America and the Caribbean. Its stated aims include defending moral and economic rights of screenwriters, securing remuneration for public communication and secondary use of audiovisual works, and studying issues affecting screenwriters in film, television and internet. The alliance also promotes reciprocity for foreign works and mutual cooperation among member societies.
