Rent, License, Purchase

Canyon Cinema’s rental fees are determined by, or in collaboration with, our artist members according to the length and format of the work.

Prices listed in Canyon Cinema’s distribution catalog for film and digital media rental reflect the fee for a single screening of that title. This fee includes rental of the title in the specified format as well as public performance rights for a single presentation. All the titles listed in the catalog are available for screening worldwide. Additional handling fees and surcharges may apply. To make a booking request or obtain a quote for a screening please refer to our How to Order page.

For repeat screenings, each subsequent showing of the work(s) on the same day or a consecutive day will be billed at 50% of the base rental fee. For repeat screenings on a non-consecutive day, the full base rental fee will typically be applied. Fees for exhibition to audiences of more than 150 people must be determined in consultation with our office. 

Payment must be received prior to delivery of material unless credit is arranged or an official purchase order is submitted.
