FAQ

Q: Can I show any movie I want at my outdoor event?

A: No, you cannot show any movie without obtaining the proper licensing. Copyright laws protect filmmakers’ rights, and unauthorized screenings can result in legal consequences. Outdoor movie licensing ensures that you have the necessary permissions to showcase copyrighted films.

Q: Is outdoor movie licensing only required for public events?

A: Outdoor movie licensing is necessary for both public and private events. Even if you are hosting a screening for a closed group, such as a company event or a community gathering, you still need the appropriate licenses to comply with copyright laws.

Q: How far in advance should I apply for outdoor movie licensing?

A: It is recommended to begin the licensing process well in advance of your planned event. This allows sufficient time to obtain necessary permissions, negotiate terms, and complete any paperwork. Contacting a licensing expert as soon as you start planning your event will ensure a smoother process.
