Q. Do we need special permission to show films on campus?
We are planning a film series in the fall. Three films have been selected and will be introduced by faculty
members. No admission fee will be charged and the screenings will be open to the public.
Yes any video screenings outside of the classroom require you to have public performance rights (PRR).
Luckily many of the films that the library licenses allow public screenings on-campus as long as they do not charge admission. Examples include titles in Films on Demand, most titles in Academic Video Online, and many in Kanopy.
You can learn more about the library's streaming collections here and more about public performance rights here.
