How to show a film on campus
1. Check the library's pre-licensed films
The library holds special licenses for a few databases that include PPR, so you can start by searching here.
2. Purchase a license for a different film
- If the film you want is not in the databases above, you or your department must acquire a license from the copyright holder or a licensing agent.
- Licensing agents: Major distributors like Swank Motion Pictures, Criterion Pictures USA, and the Motion Picture Licensing Corporation (MPLC) can often provide the necessary rights.
3. When in doubt, contact the librarian
- Contact the Music, Film and Media Librarian at least four weeks before your event to discuss your film screening plans and ensure you follow copyright requirements.
