Film screenings that take place within the library's activities, e.g. for children's groups, film clubs, etc. are copyrighted within the institutional rights area. Through Swedish Film you can book film screenings that give the authors legitimate compensation and strengthen copyright. We ensure that the screenings take place according to the conditions set by the film companies. Safe for you as the operator.
Showing films in the library premises or for groups within the business is covered by what is considered institutional film screening and rights for it are required. Regardless of whether it is spontaneous or planned with or without a clear purpose. It can be anything from an old children's film, a documentary, a classic or the latest blockbusters. This applies regardless of whether the film is played from a DVD, Bluray, streamed, or shown from, for example, SVT Play.
For those of you who want to show films regularly to a closed group, the Swedish Film License is our best solution.
It gives you the right to show films from the film companies that are part of the Licensing Partnership, as often as you wish.
Swedish Film License agreements are signed for closed film screenings that take place within the library's operations. Libraries can sign a Swedish Film License for film screenings that are aimed at given groups, such as members of the library's own film club. Enter the current number of members in the film club when you apply for a Swedish Film License. For Hospital and School Libraries, License agreements are signed based on the number of beds or the number of students.
Agreements are signed for each individual location where film screenings occur.
Screenings of the Swedish Film License may only take place for the activity for which the agreement is signed.
The screenings of the Swedish Film License do not apply to screenings of films that are public, i.e. open to the public.
