I am organizing a free Indian film festival at my university, and I am
writing to ask if anyone knows about the legal ramifications of screening
DVDs at such an event. Am I required to contact the copyright holder of
each DVD to get permission (and to pay a fee) for the right to screen the
DVD, even when the event is free and educational in purpose? I am
currently negotiating with a distributor who wants me to pay the same
(rather high) fee for a 35mm print as for a DVD.
