terms of the loan
How, what and for how much?
Rental terms and ordering methods vary depending on the type of projection. Everything is subject to the general terms and conditions.
Film media and formats
We offer different media for each title from our catalogue of films for screening. How do they differ from each other and which medium is most suitable for the planned screening?
DCP
DCP playback requires the technology available in fully digital cinemas. This type of media is usually not suitable for projection outside cinema premises.
35 mm | 16 mm | 8 mm
We only rent film prints where the projection is in good technical condition and is operated by experienced people with a valid projectionist's licence. To project 35mm prints, the cinema must be equipped with two projectors for this format.
The film prints must be carefully cared for, so it is not possible to show the same print too often. We therefore consider each request to borrow a film print on an individual basis.
Blu-ray (BD)
Playing a movie from a Blu-ray disc requires special equipment designed specifically for this type of media. This can be available outside the cinema; some cinemas play Blu-ray discs.
MP4
The MP4 format is suitable for venues where digital projection is limited and a Blu-ray player is not available. These are mostly projections outside cinema premises.
For the full text of the conditions for the loan of film prints, see Chapter VII. General Terms and Conditions.
