FAQs
Who can take part?
Individuals, Societies, Charities, Clubs, Companies, Agencies, Venues Managers, Families, Grandmothers, Grandmasters... all are welcome.
What kind of venue can I screen in?
Museums, pubs, football clubs, village halls, schools, universities, shops, parks, pretty much anywhere can be a screening venue if you think sideways. We've had all sorts... even polytunnels.
Do I need a special license?
No, Dogwoof provides you with the license rights to screen the film. Because it's a public event, you need to check the venue has a premises license. If not, a temporary event notice can be organised within 10 days of your event and costs around £20.
When can I screen the film?
You can screen as soon as films are released in cinemas in order to take advantage of the promotion for the film’s general release. Or if you want to screen outside of these dates – take a look at the Classic Films on offer or contact popup@dogwoof.com
When can I book the film?
As soon as it appears on the Popup Cinema website! This can potentially be months before the film’s release meaning you have plenty of time to integrate your screening into the film’s nationwide campaign.
What equipment do I need?
We provide you with a special screening DVD of the film a week before the screening date. It’s up to you to source a projector unless the venue already has one.
Can I screen on another format other than DVD?
We're working on other formats including web-streaming... the future is nigh!
Can I keep the DVD?
For any Classic film booking, you can keep the DVD. Any additional screenings should be licensed through the Popup Cinema website. DVDs for premiere film bookings must be returned to the Dogwoof Office.
What Experience do I need?
No experience necessary! You just need a venue which can hold a public screening and a little saviness to fill it. Remember, your screening will have the support of the film’s national PR and marketing campaign behind it which is a great asset to generating an audience.
