Public Performance Licensing

French Connection Films has been a proud provider of many factual documentaries that have served schools, non-profits and community groups around the world.

Under The Copyright Act, any viewing or exhibition of a video (in full or partial form) in a public place must have Public Performance Rights.

If you are interested in screening one of our films or licensing a DVD for educational, institutional, or any other public use, please fill out the request form on your right.

For further information regarding the different types of licenses, please see below:

Public Performance Screening

To host a one-time “public performance” screening at your school, community venue, film festival or event, please fill out the screening request form on your right. Within 48 hours, someone from our team will contact you with additional information on the screening fees and next steps. Depending on the time/place of the screening, it is also possible to request the director and/or a member of the film to speak at your screening.
