Public Performance Rights and showing videos in the classroom

MacEwan Library has signed a license with the Advanced Education Media Acquisitions Centre (AEMAC) at Langara College. This license permits MacEwan faculty and students to show feature films in the classroom if the film is distributed by Criterion or Audio-Cine. Together, these distributors represent approximately 80% of the feature film market. This license covers feature films borrowed from any library, rented from a video store, or brought from a home collection (as long as the feature film is legally produced). 

It is the responsibility of the instructor or student to obtain the feature film and confirm that the title is covered by one of these distributors.  Films that are covered by the license will be listed at the respective web sites:

• Audio-Cine http://www.acf-film.com [choose post-secondary institutions as your client type & search by title]
  1-800-289-8887
• Criterion
  http://www.criterionpic.com/ [search by studios/producers or title]
  1-800-633-0991
