Film Licensing

In order to show a copyrighted movie either indoors or outdoors to the general public, a film license is required. However, if an indoor or outdoor movie is being hosted for family and friends on your own personal property, a film license is not required.

To obtain a film license, please follow these steps:

•Select the movie.
•Movies are distributed through the following two companies www.swank.com or www.criterionpicusa.com.
These companies do not compete. 85% of the titles are with www.swank.com and 15% of the titles are with
www.criterionpicusa.com.
•When ordering the movie request that it is in DVD format so that you are able to take full advantage of the best picture,
quality and sound.
•The DVD will be shipped to you and you will be required to ship it back.

Note: This license is valid for a one night viewing only. Disney and its subsidiaries have partially restricted use of their titles in outdoor settings. Be sure to check with the distributors on those restrictions.
