Frameline offers a rental option for public performance use for film festivals, museum exhibitions, classrooms, community screenings, and more. Rental rates vary depending upon the film, screening venue, if the screening is free or admission, and the screening format. Films are available as a digital file, DCP DVD, or 16mm film print. For hardcopy rentals, the customer is responsible for all fees incurred in the roundtrip shipment of rented material. Frameline also provides promotional materials including trailer, stills, captions, poster and other assets to help promote your screening.

For theatrical bookings please fill out the booking form on the bottom of each film page, or contact distribution@frameline.org with basic information about your screening such as the proposed date and number of showings, venue size, if it is a free screening or paid admission, and we will contact you within more details. 

For inquiries regarding including a film or a portion of a film in an exhibition in a museum or gallery context, please contact distribution@frameline.org for more information.
