[LIBRARYDIR] Movie Clubs?

[Mindy Coslor]

Our Student Activities pays for public performance rights.  I can try to find out what organization they use.

Here are a few:

  *   Swank Motion Pictures<http://www.swank.com/>  is the major non-theatrical movie distributor and public performance licensing agent in venues where feature movies are shown publicly
  *   Criterion Pictures<http://www.criterionpicusa.com/>  is one of the largest non-theatrical providers of feature films in North America. In the United States, Criterion has exclusive relationships with some of Hollywood's largest film Studios, such as Paramount Pictures (select titles only), 20th Century Fox, Fox SearchLight, DreamWorks Animation, Troma Films, New Concorde, among others.
  *   Motion Picture Licensing Corporation<http://www.mplc.org/> is an independent copyright licensing agency that provides the Umbrella License to ensure copyright compliance for the public performance of motion pictures.

Subject: [LIBRARYDIR] Movie Clubs?

We have a group of students who want to form a movie club.  I'm concerned this would be outside of "fair use" and require them to pay for performance rights.  Anybody else have a movie club on their campus?
