Does the club you advise want to show a film to the public? To do so legally, the club must procure a copy of the film with public performance rights (PPR) or purchase a one-time PPR license from the company that owns the rights to the film. PPR can be an expensive enterprise, but the library purchases databases that already come with PPR.
Try Kanopy, Films on Demand, or Filmakers Library. Stay on the right side of copyright law. Streaming video shows best with a wired computer since a wireless connection can buffer or freeze. Contact the GCC Library for more information on streaming video and PPR.
Provides access to more than 6000 films in various subjects from Films for the Humanities & Sciences and other leading educational film vendors.
