Public Screening Licence (Single or 12 Months)
$50.00
Host a heartfelt screening of PTSD Love Stories at your school, university, workplace, library or community venue. Choose your organisation type, licence, attendance estimate and event entry type (free or paid); the price will then update automatically.
You will also receive our Community Screening Kit (PDF and PowerPoint Slide) with discussion prompts, trauma-aware tips and a support-services slide to help you run a safe, meaningful event.
What this is: a Public Performance Rights (PPR) licence, i.e., the permission to show the film to a group outside a private home. Your licence is the permission; delivery is via a secure digital link.
How it works: your licence covers one named site/branch (or one live virtual session per event, invite-only, not recorded or uploaded). Multi-site use requires additional site licences or a consortium quote; please contact us.
Licence options: choose Single Screening for a one-off event, or 12-Month site for unlimited events at your site across the year. Using the correct licence keeps your event compliant and respects the storytellers’ rights.
Internal-only screenings? For ongoing internal use (non-ticketed, invite-only), see our Internal Screening Licence. If your library or department wants a copy for collection, lending and individual on-site viewing, please choose DVD - Organisation (Collection & Individual Use).

FAQ
What can we do with Public Performance Rights?
Show the film to a group at one named site/branch (or one live virtual session per event) and run free or ticketed sessions within your licence type.
What is "One Site"?
One campus, building or library branch; multiple rooms at that location are fine. If you operate across multiple sites or branches, please contact us.
Can we run virtual screenings?
Yes. Single Screening: one live virtual session in place of the in-room event. 12-Month site: one live virtual session per scheduled event. All virtual sessions must be invite-only and not recorded or uploaded.
When will my licence be activated?
Book a 14-day access window that suits your timetable. On day one, we’ll email your unique private screening link for you to share with attendees. Please book at least five business days in advance. Your link email (sent separately from your tax invoice) is issued after payment is received and the Licence Agreement is signed, or once we approve your purchase order (allow up to five business days during business hours).
