I am entering a film festival at my school. It states on the information sheet that there may not be any copyrighted material in the film, this goes without saying, but does that mean that i cannot use any music???

professionals use music from this site, it is public domain both compositions and recordings.

anything you take off a CD is a copyrighted recording, that is what the circle p symbol means, and RIAA enforces those rights. So even if you get ASCAP or BMI clearance for the performance, you still can not use music taken from a CD as that belongs to the record label. stick with public domain materials.
by the way the No Copyrighted material is a common requirement because the festival will be a public performance.

It means that you cannot use any "copyrighted" music. There is a lot of music that is not copyrighted. You would have to check out the music you want to use to see if it is copyrighted or not. Printed music scores, CD's, audio cassettes, music videos, etc. all state the composer and the copyright information. If this is on any music source you plan to use, then according to your school policy it cannot be used. In other situations if you wanted to use copyrighted music, you would have to contact the copyright holder and ask to purchase a mechanical license for your intended use.

Save yourself some time and money if you want to use copyrighted music. Choose all your songs from ASCAP or BMI. Write to them with the specifics of your project and you'll be able to get the rights to everything you need with one letter and one check. If your school has a licensing agreement with ASCAP or BMI (most schools with music programs do) you may be able to use their license.

Unless you wrote it or own it, you can't use it without permission. You may be able to use a limited amount or do a cover version, but I'd check with a lawyer first.

Unless you have written permission from the publishers, it is illegal to use any copyrighted material.
