They also advocate for fair use of found footage. They sponsored a
contest recently (see below) for movies that express their objectives.
It's too late to enter now, but the first-place winner is a very cool
use of found footage. I recommend showing it to students (1) to show
what can be done with material like this and (2) to introduce them to
Creative Commons for possible use of its licenses on their own work.
The contest winners:

"Building on the Past" is particularly cool.
