Criterion Pictures offers public performace rights licenses covering Education and Entertainment use. With the corresponding licenses from Audio Cine Films [2], BC ELN partner libraries can obtain rights covering almost all of the major US and Canadian studios and production companies and many independent producers and foreign films.

The Entertainment licence covers on-campus screenings outside of the classroom, and is not limited to libraries or faculty. See the Criterion ffPPR: Entertainment page [3] for details, including specific rights and limitations.

The Education licence covers screenings for educational purposes within for-profit institutions. Non-profit institutions do not require an Education license. See the Criterion ffPPR: Education page [4] for details.

This licence is unrelated to the Criterion On Demand streaming video product.
