Show Movie in your SMBS Request
 
If your ministry plans to show a movie, it MUST BE APPROVED. Films NOT covered by our license may NOT be shown on church property. Film license good on GABC property only. No films may be shown off campus. Movies shown that are not covered by our license is illegal and very, very expensive if you are caught violating copyright law.
 
Please give us ample time to research your request (3-5 days preferred)

GUIDELINES

Movies on our library shelves are not necessarily "approved." They are for general checkout and must be approved just like any other film.
 
The following are terms and conditions contingent upon approval of the movie(s) you requested. These are not our rules, they are a combination of the Motion Picture Licensing Corporation license restrictions and laws set up by the U.S. Copyright Office in section 110 of the Copyright Law of the United States.

• The motion picture shall take place on Green Acres Baptist Church property ONLY.
• You may not advertise or publicize motion picture title to the general public.
• You may not charge admission of any kind, either to view the motion picture or for entry to an event in which a movie or clip from a movie is shown.
• You may show ONLY the approved motion picture.
• You may not record audio or video in any format of the motion picture.
• You may not edit the motion picture for use in another medium. Movie shown is limited to viewing on 4 visual devices or less.
• Visual device must be 55" or LESS diagonally (corner to corner).
• You may only show the movie in one room or adjoining outdoor space.
• If using the movie audio ONLY, you are limited to no more than 6 loudspeakers, of which not more than 4 speakers are located in any 1 room or adjoining outdoor space.

The breaking of any of these terms makes the church AND your ministry liable for any copyright violations and resulting fines.
