Doesn't matter what kind of film you show, whether or not you charge entrance, or whether the audience is composed of students only or others. Once you show an entire work outside of the home or outside of face-to-face teaching (i.e. as part of regularly-scheduled classes) A fair use application might be, for instance, showing a short clip or two as part of an extra-curricular program...but showing a whole film in those contexts require PPR. gary handman > Dear all, > > I'm sure this has been discussed here before.
