Booking films for classroom showing

Requests for classroom film bookings

Most of the titles in the video collection are licensed for non-theatrical public performance use at Simon Fraser University and may be booked for classroom viewing by SFU faculty and instructors. 

Film bookings should be placed at least two weeks in advance of the show date and we may be unable to fill requests made less than one week in advance. Requests for classroom film bookings may be done in one of two ways:

  1. Use the request form (preferred method)
  2. Send requests by email: media@sfu.ca
Required films for a course may be made available on a streaming basis to be viewed via Canvas. See Streaming video for required course videos for more information.
