Rudi did a Q&A on Instagram Live yesterday to promote his new book and a “secret project” he is working on with Peter Freestone.. answered questions about what was his favorite music videos he directed, his relationship with the band as well as other artist he has worked with. Here’s a clip of him talking about the Knebworth footage also confirming he has more backstage footage of Queen in Budapest and brings up an interesting comment he made about a mini documentary he said he made for the Budapest DVD/BluRay that was only released in Japan

We all know that there are hours of footage from Queen taped by DORO. Only problem is the money. QP won't pay Doro the amount they want.

The relationship between DORO and Queen has always puzzled me. Why would the band hire DORO to film for them, then have to pay again for the footage? We're always told what great businessmen Queen are so why would they sign such a terrible contract?

-- Depends on the contract they had. One time usage ( for promotional services eg) and a buyout are 2 totally different things. --Why do you consider this contract "terrible" ? Queen were multimillionaires and DoRo freelancers ( from what I gather ). So ? You want a product, you pay. If Queen only wanted 1 time usage, fine, costs them much less than a buyout. -And DoRo were/are totally entitled to do with the footage (after an embargo time ) whatever they wanted. It seems that's what they do .Great !

Wait ! Is this Rudi " The last time we filmed him (Freddie) was in the Duckhouse/Montreux" Dolezal ?
Yeah right ;) Oh I forget they are totally broke
Wiener City Film Produktion ( broke 2002)
Doro Media AG ( broke 2003)
Doro Films GmbH Munich ( broke around 2014)
last year 2019...guess what the next bankruptcy.
They totally lost the plot business wise.
Okay serious...of course they sit on many gems, no doubt.
But I choose the freedom to beleive it when it will see the day of light.

Being bankrupt and close your company is also a good way to get rid of employees and reorganize. Many companies do this to later 'restart' their business

Isn't it true after 30 years or so without renewal of contracts, ownership and copyrights of music and footage are for the company/person that holds the goods ( reels of Queen footage)

---- It all depends what kind of contract they have, right ? Never heard of a 30 years clause.

I could imagine that DoRo were paid for the ready product they delivered to Queen productions and by that time nobody thougt about the unused footage. Why should Queen productions at that time have paid extra money for stuff which was cut? Nobody could have guessed or cared about which value this stuff might have 30+ years later.
