The goal of the collaboration is to provide quality learning materials for all levels of education and to promote and support film education work and cultural education at schools.

PUBLIC SCREENING OF FILMS
According to copyright law, public screening of films in places such as schools, youth centres or libraries requires a licence. Filmed works are protected by copyright law also when only short excepts of them are shown for purposes such as adding depth to the teaching of a subject. For public screening, you will need a licence from the copyright holders or a party authorised to represent them. A licence is not needed when the viewing takes place at home or with a small circle of friends.
Elokuvalisenssi represents the public screening rights of the largest international film companies in Finland. Read more about the annual Elokuvalisenssi here.
