Is your affiliated club, society or group thinking about holding a film screening?

You normally need a Film Licence to show a film. We have a Film Licence. There are some rules you need to follow:

• Our Film Licence only covers showing films in certain areas of our building.
• No charge can be made, directly or indirectly, to see the film or for admission. Therefore members cannot be charged entry to film screenings, make a donation to at a charity event that shows a film or forced to buy membership for your club, society or group to watch the film.
• You must inform us the name of the film, for our records, when you book a room.
• You must be using your own legally UK sourced copy (bought or rented) of the Film on DVD or Blu-ray Disc only. The film must be a feature film, not a TV show or music programme.
• Under the licence, advertising is restricted to within the Students' Association Building. The permitted forms of advertising is normally through internal notice boards and posters within the Students' Association.
• You cannot show excluded films.

Please get in touch if you have any questions about this guidance or which to hold an activity outwith this guidance.
