Screening & Distribution
Copyright
Before screening, it is vital that you have permissions to screen the work in public (especially if you wish to charge money for tickets), and that your film is clearly copyrighted. Do consider using Creative Commons Licences. Do familiarise yourself with this area of screening and distribution - further information on copyright is available in theResources section.

Distribution
When you've made a film, it needs to be seen. However, you won't be able to legally distribute your film unless you have proof of ownership of the rights (or written permission from other rights holders - such as for the music you might be using in your film.)
National: Although piracy is a global phenomenon, this illegal activity is particularly rampant in Sierra Leone where a lack of law enforcement and public education makes this disease particularly rampant. Steps are, however, being taken to introduce a new national distribution strategy to minimise piracy and provide better accountability and profits to filmmakers than is currently the case.
International: If you have all the necessary rights, there are are scores of international distributors available, all looking for interesting, well-made and original films. Many specialise in specific genres and have different target markets. For help in this area, feel free to contact the SLNFW.
