[Videolib] Providence Community Library (RI) is still seeking 16mm films!

[Dave Dvorchak]

Hi all,

Just wanted to put another reminder out that Providence Community Library (
http://www.provcomlib.org) in Providence, RI is still very eager to take
your old 16mm films (and 8mm, super 8, 35mm!) off of your hands and out of
your basements, closets, and storage areas!

I'm primarily seeking feature-length films from the 1930s - 1980s and am
always looking for horror, sci-fi, film noir, action, comedy and
independent / cult films. Interesting and / or weird documentaries and
educational films (sex! drugs! alcohol!) are always welcome, too! I'm open
to hearing about anything you may have.

Thanks!
Dave

between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and 
distributors.

Re: [Videolib] Screening rights in Canada for Churches

[Susan Weber]

Churches are not exempt from the law in Canada.  Any screening in a 
public place needs Public Performance rights,

whether it's a school, church or daycare.

with churches.  She seemed to genuinely think it was normal as they  
have shown other films.  Does anyone know?

Thanks!

Site licenses generally cover a number of studios. If they have one it
could cover many films but certainly not
every film.

[joyce Johnson]

Hi Jessica,   You must be right.  The church leaders are confused and  
think they can show "any film" because of a site license with some  
studio.

I am sure this happens a lot.
Thanks!

Canadian law as noted is even stricter than US law as it has no  
classroom exemption. You could not show a copyrighted film to an  
audience
in Canada without a license. I presume you can buy a "site" license  
in Canada which would entitle to show films from  a given list for a  
fixed fee, but that would still be buying PPR rights so I honestly  
have know idea what she means.
