Swank Movie Licensing USA’s public performance license creates opportunities for

unlimited showings of Hollywood’s best movies anywhere inside your school building. 

Why do I need K-12 movie licensing?

The Federal Copyright Act specifies that copyrighted materials like movies can be used in your schools if properly licensed. It’s important to know that neither the rental nor purchase of a movie carries the right to exhibit it outside of someone’s home. However, Movie Licensing USA can properly license movies for copyright-compliant showings in your school.

How can I use my license?

Once your school is licensed, you’re legally covered for unlimited movie showings. Use your license to enhance fundraising or family events, entertain during after-school care, keep students occupied on rainy days, for student rewards, holiday parties and PTA events, or to simply host a school movie night.
