[can-talk] can-talk Digest, Vol 34, Issue 6

Hi Bronwyn

You may have received an answer on this question about movies already,
but a couple of points to consider.

Almost every screening of any film to the public requires a screening
permission from either the rights owner or the film's distributor.
Recently released films will most definitely fall into this category.
Distributors will generally ask for a screening fee per use. This fee
can vary between some hundreds of dollars and some thousands of dollars.
Only the distributor can give you a definite cost , but in our
experience they can be generous if fund raising is involved for worthy
causes.

If you are interested in titles that are yet to be released on DVD then
you will need to consider what formats are used in a cinema context and
whether or not you have appropriate projection equipment and expertise
available to run a screening particularly in an outdoor context. New
titles are still generally released on 35mm film stock so you will
require a technical set up that could support this format.

You can find useful information on film, copyright and film screenings
on the Australian Copyright Council website under "Film"

Hope this helps

Hi All,

While I realise this isn't strictly a museum-y question I'm hoping
someone can give me some help.

One of the fundraising suggestions that has recently come up in
discussions for the museum is doing outdoor movies during summer.
Someone suggested looking into the hire of movies that aren't on DVD yet
- new releases or ones that have just finished in the cinemas.  I've
tried doing various google searches to see where and how I can go about
getting such movies and the potential hire price, but can't find
anything.

Before I move further on this suggestion i really need more information
- can any one help?  have you done something similar, do you know how
much it costs and who to hire them from?

Thanks,

Bronwyn

Be careful - you will need to ensure you have the correct licence.  Not
simply a matter of showing a movie intended for personal use. 

You will not get current material on video. 

Likely to be expensive.

Regards
Glen

Hi Bronwyn
Many Local Council's host similar events, as Cinema under the Stars... ,
two I can think of are City of Wodonga and Albury City. It would be
calling and chatting to their events officers or cultural development
officers to find out the process.  You may even find your own local
council useful. Not sure where you are located but Film Victoria would
be worth calling
