budgeting for film series

[Alex Zahlten]

Hi,

at least in Germany, there is an important difference between the film prints the Japan Foundation has in its local archive and prints it stores in Tokyo. The prints in Germany can be screened free of charge (in Germany) as long as you don't take admission fees from the audience, so shipping fees are the only real cost. For prints located in Japan, the rights have to be cleared first, and this might or might not cost you something, depending on who the rights holder is. If it's a former major, be prepared to pay quite a lot.
