Tor,
Check out "Documentary Filmmakers' Statement of Best Practices in Fair Use":
<http://www.centerforsocialmedia.org/resources/publications/statement_of_best_practices_in_fair_use/>
This is supposed to apply to documentary work, obviously, but seems like it could be useful for experimental film folks as well.
best,
Lauren Sorensen
