Arrange your licence

The problem

We understand that 'single title' licensing from a studio library can be frustrating for film societies. Customer service levels are low, copies can be poor quality and may arrive too late. They are also expensive, as they include up front deposits, postage, packing, insurance costs and penalties for late return.

The solution

Technology is now so advanced that film societies prefer to use easily available home DVD, Blu-Ray or downloads. The MPLC recognised these needs and created a modern, licence alternative called the MPLC Movie Licence.

Step 1

Choose your programme of titles and obtain your legally available DVD/Download files from any retail or rental source.

Step 2

Apply for your licence using the booking application form. A licence certificate and invoice will be raised by return. There are two types of applications, one for 'non-commercial' screenings with no admission charge and one for 'commercial' screenings with an admission charge. Rates for commercial events are charged at the minimum guaranteed rate per title, or 35% of the box office, whichever is greater. See price list.

Step 3

If your event is commercial, with a paying audience, then a title returns form will be included in your licence pack ready for completion after the event.

Step 4

A second invoice will be raised, if necessary, based on the total door income. See terms and conditions.
