As I often mention, copyright law forbids us to show entire movies to groups even if we are using those movies for curriculum requirements; however, we do subscribe to a license that allows us to show many movies without violating copyright law. The license pertains to certain studios. The APPROVED studios are listed below: W. Disney Pictures Touchstone Pictures Hollywood Pictures Columbia Pictures

Tri-Star Pictures Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer United Artists Miramax

STAFF INFORMATION

Warner Bros. NBC Universal Sony Pictures Lionsgate

Summit Entertainment Picturehouse New Line Cinema

Fair use does allow for a small fraction of movies to be used without licensing issues; five to ten minutes is usually a safe bet.

Faculty members remember to turn in your gift fund donations to Sheila Wright. Deluxe Cleaners will still be dropping off and picking up drying cleaning this year on Tuesday’s and Friday’s.
