Re: [Videolib] HBO
HBO often has limited distribution rights for films which they broadcast (similar to PBS). You may need to contact the production company or filmmaker for early PPR or streaming rights. After initial broadcasts, some of their films will have an educational film distributor. HBO generally has a link to the film web site where you can get other information and contacts. I have gotten PPR rights for specific screenings, but not streaming or blanket PPR rights from HBO. As others have noted, patience may be needed.

Re: [Videolib] HBO
I am virtually certain this is the case with MAXIMA and have a request in to a friend who knows the director and works for a company that might itself be interested in the distribution.

Re: [Videolib] HBO
Based on a recent streaming request made to HBO (facilitated by an HBO lurker on Videolib), I have learned that the network is not currently interested in entering the educational streaming market. I'm wondering if this may relate to previous investment in their own subscription streaming service for individuals, HBO Go. On the other hand, HBO does tend to release its documentaries on DVD eventually, just as it may wait a year or so to release a season of True Blood or Game of Thrones. This may be one of those cases (such as when faculty members request a film they've seen at a festival) where you need to remind the patron that good things are worth waiting for...

Re: [Videolib] HBO
Not sure if this will help but I sent a friend of mine who knows the director an email asking if he could find it. He had previously said something to the effect that the director had the rights so I am guessing this is actually not an HBO issue.
