Subscription Services
Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime are the largest subscription services for streaming film if you're having trouble getting a film through the library.
Subscription Aggregators
Services such as JustWatch attempt to aggregate the content the major subscription services are serving. However, they are not always perfect, and it is best to double-check against the specific services as well.
In addition to these, IMDb will often list upcoming TV broadcasts of movies and shows, as well as provide links to content on Amazon (although that content is not guaranteed to be free for Prime customers).
Other streaming Options
If you don't mind ads, you can find films on YouTube, IMDb, Tubi, and other services. Check these after checking the databases.
UTampa students and faculty are encouraged to join the Hillsborough County Public Library Cooperative (HCPLC). HCPLC offers a large selection of streaming videos and eBooks, many of which are not available at the Macdonald-Kelce Library. If you are looking for a feature film or popular novel, join the Hillsborough Public Library by signing up for a free library card.
Why and when do I need Public Performance Rights (PPR)?
Since most films are under copyright, it's necessary to obtain permission to screen films in a public setting. Public Performance Rights (PPR) is a license that allows a film to be shown publicly. If a student organization or department plans to show a film at a festival, educational program, movie night on campus, or other event with a substantial number of people, the group may need to obtain public performance rights.
Faculty are permitted to show feature length films in a classroom or instructional setting. Students are able to show films in small groups.
Faculty: In copyright law, the TEACH Act (17 U.S.C. § 110 - U.S. Code): permits “the performance or display of a work by instructors or pupils in the course of face-to-face teaching activities of a nonprofit educational institution, in a classroom or similar place devoted to instruction....” It applies to showing of entire films, and also to those that involve less extensive clips from one or several sources.
Find more information on the Faculty Guide.
Students: You don't need PPR for
Faculty, Departmental and Student Organizations must seek Public Performance Rights (PPR) in order to show publicly screened films outside of an instructional setting.
If you are showing a film in a theater on campus and it's open to all of UTampa, then you will need to pay for public performance rights. PPR is required because copyrighted films (a lot of our DVDs and streaming video in the library) are not licensed to show to a large group. The exception is for instruction (see above).
Everyone needs PPR for:
Faculty, Departments, and Campus Organizations: In order to get PPR, you must contact the distributor of the film, like the Criterion Collection or Swank (see below). When contacting these distributors, have the event information and payment information on hand. So, if you are showing a film and it's coming out of a departmental budget, have that information ready.
Some of our streaming films already have public performance rights. Here is how you can find them:
Companies that you may need to contact to secure PPR:
For some films, you may need to contact the producer or distributor directly. If you need help locating the distributer, contact the library at library@ut.edu.
