Cosponsorship Information

The CWRU Film Society will release its schedule at least 30 days before the beginning of the semester. Organizations that wish to cosponsor a film which appears on the schedule on a Friday or Saturday night are only responsible for covering projectionists' fees, which are 30 dollars a showing. The members of this organization will in turn be allowed to make announcements prior to the film, will receive assistance from the CWRU Film Society with publicity and advertising relevant to the event, and will be entitled to staff concessions discounts and free admission to the film. The cosponsoring organization may cover the projectionists' fees in one of two ways: by guaranteeing a sufficient number of paying customers to cover these costs (ten per showing) or down payment. If an insufficient number of paying customers attend the event, the cosponsoring organization will be obligated to pay the CWRU Film Society the difference. Projectionists' fees must be paid in whole by the end of the evening.

If an organization wishes to cosponsor a film that does not appear on the CWRU Film Society's Friday/Saturday schedule, they will be required to pay one third of the cost of the film rights, rounded up to the nearest fifty dollars, as well as projectionists' fees. Down payment for the film rights must be received by the CWRU Film Society one week prior to the showing. Projectionists' fees may be covered as above: by guaranteeing paying customers or down payment. Films that do not appear on CWRU Film Society's regular schedule cannot be scheduled for Fridays, Saturdays or Sundays. As above, projectionists' fees must be paid in whole by the end of the event.

If multiple organizations wish to cosponsor a single film, arrangements must be made by the groups in question. The costs may be split however the groups wish; the CWRU Film Society will require the same total cost to be paid (one third of the rights plus thirty dollars projectionists' fees per showing for an off-schedule movie, projectionists' fees only for a regularly scheduled movie) as with a cosponsorship by a single group.

The CWRU Film Society requests as many members of the cosponsoring organization be present as is possible at their cosponsored event. A single representative of the cosponsoring organization, at minimum, must be present at the event throughout its duration.

If an organization fails to pay the necessary fees for their cosponsorship the CWRU Film Society may pursue action through the university, and the organization may be ineligible for future cosponsorships. If at least a single member of the cosponsoring organization fails to attend the event the organization may be ineligible for future cosponsorships. The CWRU Film Society reserves the right to refuse a cosponsorship for any reason.
