Bringing the Best in Faith-Based Movie Events to Canadian Churches
Why you need a license to show these movies
The reason is simply that every producer has the right to set whatever pubic performance restrictions they wish. Some choose to include the performance rights for free or for an extra amount of money, and some programs may not be shown publicly at all. Remember, publicly showing a film that you are not authorized to show is a crime, a serious copyright violation that can trigger an FBI investigation. Please take the time to check on how you can schedule showings fairly and legally.
The best information we can offer is located on the Public Performances page.
Also,
please note that a blanket license covering public screenings for a wide range of titles has become more popular recently. Read more about the CVLI License below, or by visiting their site at www.cvli.com
We have a CVLI License - what programs are covered by this license?

Although this system has many advantages, it still presents some challenges due to the nature of the entertainment industry.
