Common Questions

Do I really need a license?

If you're showing a film anywhere open to the public, or to a group beyond family and friends — a convention panel, a store event, a campus club, a library program — yes. A home movie night with your gaming group doesn't need one.

How much does it cost?

Nothing, as long as you do not charge admission. If you charge admission (or the screening is part of a paid event), we'll quote a fee based on your event before anything is final. Fees go to the creators and producers of these movies, so please be honest! If you have question, please reach out!

Is the license valid as soon as I submit?

Not quite — your submission is your acceptance of the agreement; the license takes effect when ZOE countersigns (and any fee is paid). We'll send the executed copy back to the email you provide.

Can we show just part of a film?

You can show excerpts or the whole thing, as long as the film isn't edited, altered, or copied, and it's shown with full attribution.

Can we stream the screening online or to a second room?

No. The license covers in-person exhibition where the audience and the playback are in the same room or venue. It doesn't cover broadcast, online, or satellite transmission.

Where do I get a copy of the film to screen?

You can use a DVD, Blu-ray, or digital copy you own, or we can arrange a screening file. Mention what you need in the notes.

I want to screen something that isn't listed.
