Can I show a film for a campus or club event?
Answer
You will likely need to have Public Performance Rights (PPR) to show a film to a club or at a campus event. Some films in the Kanopy database have PPR, or you may find a film in the public domain.
Public Performance Rights can be purchased from the company Swank. The library does not have funds to cover the cost of purchasing PPR.
Scholarly Communications Research and Teaching Librarian Sonya Durney can help with any questions you have about Performance Rights, showing films, or copyright.
