Rent or License the Film

Thank you for your interest in Beyond Fordlândia. This page will describe how you can obtain a copy of the film for viewing. There are two methods of distribution, one for interested private individuals, and the other for institutions who wish to organize a showing or make this material available to users of their institution.

Individuals

Not available for now

Institutions

Institutions can purchase a limited public performance license that offers many ways to use the film in teaching & learning, research, or as part of an institution's artistic, outreach, or educational mission.

We're happy to live in a time where we have the tools to distribute directly to librarians, campus audiences, online classrooms, researchers, and campus groups. We believe that placing a monetary value on the film's public performance rights is fitting with the larger principle of economic fairness, and extends solidarity to fellow independent filmmakers and creative professionals trying to balance art and commerce. Importantly, the same technologies that allow us to self-publish also add value and improve the overall user experience.

Purchase An Institutional LICENSE

The license allows limited public performance rights to colleges, universities, and cultural institutions to encode, locally host and stream the film for purposes of teaching & learning on a closed system for the life of the digital file and to use the film for campus presentations that are free of charge.

FORMAT

The film will be delivered to institutions as a password-protected 1080p H.264 10Mbps digital video. The URL and password are provided by email at checkout. A caption file (.SRT) is provided, as is cover art for DIY printing. We can also provide an embed code that is customized to an institution's domain if requested. While we understand that physical media may be needed in some circumstances, we believe that the benefits of an HD digital download far outweigh the costs of replicating optical media, and this belief has also motivated a relatively inexpensive licensing fee (when compared to similar titles).
