Film Screening Checklist

For any screening in the rooms mentioned above, please complete the following:

  • Arrange for a suitable screening room: Course-related screenings are scheduled via the Course Scheduler in the Registrar’s Office (x5069)  Plan to coordinate with that office for an appropriate teaching space if your audiovisual requirements for a semester are substantial.  Other screenings are considered “events” and are scheduled by Event Management via the Event Reservation Request Form
  • Contact the Reserve Office: Email libres@middlebury.edu to place the DVDs and videos you will be using on reserve for your course.  If you provide the date of the screening and who will be screening it, Reserve staff will also place a booking on the media.
  • Fill out the Film Screening Request form

Film screenings in all other spaces are the responsibility of the faculty or sponsor of the screening. If you would like training on how to use the projection equipment in a space, please call the Helpdesk and we will be happy to arrange a training session. You may also designate a student screener or assistant and we can help train them, as well. Also, make sure that your film is in a supported format: DVD or Online media are supported as long as you have the rights for screening. VHS is supported in most spaces, as well, however VCRs are gradually being removed.

Films and videos from sources outside the College may be booked by contacting Sue Driscoll in Acquisitions at least two weeks before your screening.  This will give your group time to reserve a room, promote your film and obtain financing approval.

Student groups wishing to screen a film please visit Event Management’s Student Planning web page for guidance.
