FAQ'S
Why do I need a Public Performance License or a Digital Site License?
The Federal Copyright Act governs how copyrighted materials such as movies may be used. To sponsor a public screening of a film anywhere outside of your home (including schools, community centers, public libraries, houses of worship, private clubs, etc.), you must purchase and own a Public Performance License. To stream a film from a private server, a Digital Site License is required. These legal requirements apply regardless of whether an admission fee is charged, whether the institution or organization is commercial, nonprofit or educational, or whether a federal or state agency is involved. The fee for a Public Performance License or a Digital Site License varies by type of venue and/or type of organization.
​
What is permitted with the purchase of a DVD with a Public Performance License?
-
Screen the film as many times as you like regardless of audience size or venue type, so long as audiences are in a single location.
-
In a college or university setting, a specific campus counts as a single location.
-
Other possible screening venues include community centers, public libraries, museums, government agencies, houses of worship, etc.
-
You may charge a nominal ticket price (under $20 per ticket) as a way to recoup the cost of hosting the event.
-
The DVD can be added to the collection of a lending library at the same location as the screening for the private use of borrowers.
-
The license never expires; it is yours forever.
What is NOT permitted with a Public Performance License?
-
Screenings sponsored by corporations, law firms, commercial theaters, or other profit-making enterprises.

Fundraising events.
-
Duplicating, digitizing, streaming, or transmitting the film in any way; the viewers and the projection device must be in the same room for each screening.

​Why is the Library Edition more expensive than a standard DVD?
Unlike a commercial DVD that is intended for private, in-home viewing, the Educational Edition comes with either a Public Performance License, a Digital Site License, or both. In addition, the Educational Edition is provided on a double DVD and includes two versions of the film (the standard-length theatrical release in addition to a shorter “classroom” version) as well as a wealth of supplementary video elements designed to enhance the learning experience. It also comes with a detailed Educational Discussion Guide to help teachers and students put The Lavender Scare and its special video features to their best use in a teaching environment.
How was production of The Lavender Scare financed?
Producing a documentary – particularly a historical documentary that relies on extensive use of archival material – is a costly undertaking. Production of The Lavender Scare was financed by a grant from the Ford Foundation, contributions to the Metropole Film Board, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that served as our fiscal sponsor, and generous donations from hundreds of individuals who believed in the importance of telling this story. We depend on sales to educational institutions to demonstrate that there is an audience for this film and similar independent projects in the future.
