Our collection of films focuses on Caribbean stories, voices, and experiences - at home and in the diaspora - and include TV series, documentaries, and fictional films across all genres.
While you’re here, please take a moment to browse through our catalog of films currently available for licensing.
Educational Streaming Licenses
For most of our titles, the license term is perpetuity (i.e. life of the digital file) but a few are not. If perpetuity rights are included, your institution will receive:
1) one digital copy of the title for download to be kept in your library. With this download, you can set up unlimited streaming, so if students, professors, or other verified library users want to use for themselves or for an audience of students at the university, you provide your own login credentials to them;
2) Screening rights (just for your professors and students, campus events) into perpetuity as well as long as there is not a paying audience. If there is a paying audience, a separate fee is charged, which depends on the film and the filmmaker(s) and whether you would want a Skype or in-person Q&A with the filmmaker.
DVD's
If DVDs are needed for your selected title(s) in addition to the digital download, there is an additional fee, which depends on the title(s). Please contact us [production@18degreesnorth.tv] for the applicable DVD fee. Kindly note that not all titles have accompanying DVDs.
