The present work consists of examining the legality of the public exhibition of a film, without authorization or payment to the right holders, on the basis that its exhibition is a fundamental right of access to culture. Accordingly it is necessary to verify the contents and identify the effects of the cultural rights, both in regard to public cultural policy and in the context of inter-private relationships. Preliminary, the concepts of cultures and its applications to the understanding of contemporary society will be explored. Next, the normative sources of cultural rights at the national and international levels are considered. Thus, the limits of the exercise of author s economic rights are questioned particularly when the constitutional basis of these fundamental rights point to the extensiveness of the interpretation of the limitations of the copyright legislation. In so doing the thesis seeks to integrate social data with the examination of case-law and critical discussions of the doctrine. Complementarily, it uses the hypothetical-deductive and inductive methods of approach, and the functionalist method of procedure. The balance between the right of access to culture and the exercise of author s economic rights is required to resolve the apparent conflict between these rights. The fundamental right of access to culture can only be restricted in situations that do not conflict with its purposes. The limitations to copyright should be consistent with the three steps rule'. The findings, which are the result of the balance between author s patrimonial rights and the cultural right of access, point to the existence of conditions that allow for equilibrium between these legal positions, while at the same time preserving its core content. Thus, it concludes that the feature films, in accordance with Brazilian legal system, may be publicly displayed without prior authorization or remuneration, provided that their public exhibition is on a non-patrimonial basis and for the primary purpose of applying the fundamental right of access to culture.
