Pricing is now available for the renewal for the Feature Film Public Performance Rights (PPR) license from Criterion. There has been no increase in pricing over last year.

The PPR licences include the following options:

  • For all institutions, Entertainment PPR to cover the showing of films on campus outside the classroom, e.g. a student club's movie night; and
  • For for-profit institutions only, Educational PPR to cover the showing of films in the classroom.

The Criterion PPR licences are separate from the Criterion on Demand streaming service. Participating in the one offering does not depend in any way on the other.
