We have a license from Swedish Film for educational screening at our faculty of films from certain film companies, mostly American but also SF (Svensk Filmindustri). The license covers the rights to screen films from the participating companies and the library can purchase, borrow or rent these films on DVD from anywhere, for screening in class on campus.
Streamed movies are also covered by the license agreement, that is if you find a movie produced by one of the film companies covered by the license, via a legal TVOD service (transactional video on demand) then you can stream it in class on location. TVOD refers to videos made available for a one-time fee, either as rental or purchase, at services like Blockbuster or SF Anytime. Services that requires a subscription like Amazon Prime, Netflix or ViaPlay are not covered by the license.
TVOD-services uses personal accounts and private payment methods, so it is recommended that teachers rent or purchase the film and apply for compensation afterwards in Primula. Rentals/purchases at TVOD-services cannot be used in Zoom/alike or shared by link.
