Film Screening Insurance
Film Screening Insurance evaluates the organizer’s venue, audience, schedule, equipment setup, vendors, alcohol, security, temporary production, and contract requirements. It does not replace Film Production Insurance and does not establish media-rights or intellectual-property coverage.
What Makes the Risk Different
Insurance needs depend on the operation.
Production insurance follows the making of the content. Film screening insurance follows the event where an audience gathers to view it. A premiere, festival, or touring screening may involve both, but each exposure should be disclosed separately.
