Events for Kids & Families // April 2018
The Church Video Licence provides the legal coverage required to publicly show films. Now that autumn is here, and winter is around the corner, it’s time to take advantage of the countless opportunities available under your licence:
Toddler Groups
With your Church Video Licence, you have the option of a film screening to keep toddlers happy. You can show films as often as you want to under your licence, and best of all, there are no reporting requirements. This means that you can introduce a film at the last minute and still have the assurance of copyright compliance. A rainy day may be an opportunity to talk about peer pressure and bullies with a screening of Ferdinand, based on the bestselling children’s book. A Holiday Club disrupted by the cooler weather may draw parallels with Gru’s disappointment of having his Minions leave him in Despicable Me 3.
A Winter Night In
As easy as popping in a DVD, you can share hot chocolate and popcorn while staying warm indoors and enjoying a movie with your church family. Grab a copy of a family favourite like The Greatest Showman or The Secret Life of Pets for an evening activity all will enjoy.
Outreach Events
For those churches that wish to incorporate films scenes into social and indoor events, the Church Video Licence is a valuable tool that protects you from contributory infringement. Popular films often used to illustrate messages of forgiveness, healing, and faith include Gifted and Ben-Hur (2016). Church Video Licence authorised studios such as Grizzly Adams Productions and Billy Graham’s World Wide Pictures specialize in films and programmes that highlight Christian themes.
The versatility of your Church Video Licence provides the peace of mind that whenever film or video enhance your services, parent and toddler groups, youth clubs, outreach events and social activities, you’ll be legally covered.
