How much does the screening license cost?
We are currently offering selected films from our library at no charge!

I don’t have access to a movie theater or screening room. Can I still participate in the IGNITE program?
Yes! The films are available virtually and can be screened in any location that has a screen/TV. This might include auditoriums, community centers, homes, theaters, offices … even the outdoors!  We also offer a virtual screening option, in which we set up a dedicated screening page just for you and your audience.  With a computer and broadband connection, you can stream the film in all the locations mentioned above or you can give your audience the URL (for a screening fee of $1 per link) and they can watch on their own devices.

Does the screening license include the movie, or do I have to get a copy separately?
Yes, the license includes a virtual screening page and permission for a public screening.

Where can I get resources to help me host a fantastic screening?
We will send you a Community Screening Guide and other promotional resources after your screening is confirmed.  You can download the Inocente Community Screening Guide as an example.

Can I charge admissions or ask for donations to my screening?
If you pay the full license fee, you are welcome to sell tickets and/or use the film as a fundraiser.  If you get the film license for free or at a discounted rate, however, the screening must be free for your attendees.

For what ages are these films appropriate?
We have provided ratings from the MPAA or the BBFC when the films have been rated and when not, have given recommendations.  We can provide a preview link of the film for you to ensure it is appropriate for your audience.

I’m looking to do a screening in my K-12 school, university, or library. Am I on the right page?
No. The IGNITE program is only for renting the film for a one time community screening. Educational licenses must be purchased through the film’s educational distributor.  Please visit each film’s own website to purchase a copy for your school, university, or library or click here to go to Shine’s “For Educators” section.

Can I use my screening license for more than one screening?
Licenses are for single screenings only. If you are hosting multiple screenings, please contact us at info@shineglobal.org to work out details.

Can the filmmakers come to our screening?
Due to demand and schedules, those involved in these films are not generally able to attend screenings. However, if you are able to cover travel costs and an honorarium, please contact us to discuss options.
