[Japanese Cinema Discussion Forum via KineJapan]

Hi all,


I'm looking into getting screening rights for the film *Kazoku no kuni*,
and have never done this before. My undergraduates have subtitled the film
for my subtitling class, and I'd like to screen the film at our campus
cinema with their subtitles (there are no English subs on the DVD that I
bought in Japan, and the DVD doesn't seem to be available in the US). It
would be a really great chance to showcase their work.


My questions are:



Has anyone worked with a distributor on a similar request, and do I have a
snowball's chance that they will agree to this? Do I need to explicitly ask
them both for screening rights *and* for permission to use my own
subtitles? Do screening rights typically allow for explanatory information
like pamphlets, verbal explanations, or subs to be included with no special
requests? Are those different kinds of explanatory materials
considered distinct?



Thanks in advance for any advice!


Best,


Aragorn
