Rental Conditions

Rights

• Films may be borrowed free of charge by cultural institutions, educational institutions, and partners of the Goethe-Institut. Loans are not available to private individuals. The films are licensed for non-commercial screenings only, meaning that they may be shown exclusively at non-commercial events with free or minimal admission. Unauthorized screenings may be subject to criminal prosecution.
• Copying or distributing a film online, transferring it to video, or reproducing it on any other image or sound carrier is prohibited.
• To protect the rights of the filmmakers, films must be screened in their entirety and may not be altered.
• Screening rights may not be transferred to third parties.
• Promotional activities are permitted only in the form of programme announcements in print, online, or on social media, as well as editorial press notices.
• Please note that the Goethe-Institut must be credited as an equal event partner, including its logo. Simply forwarding the material is not permitted under the terms of the licence.
