Getting Started with Swank Digital Campus Swank Motion Pictures has been licensing and distributing film and television content for more than 80 years. Driven by long-term partnerships with top Hollywood studios, we bring more movies and TV shows to more people in more places than anyone else. We license the largest collection of feature films for educational use anywhere. We partner with major studios, documentary providers, independent filmmakers and international film companies to provide a diverse library of more than 25,000 films and TV shows to higher education institutions across the country, including titles like Green Book, Moonlight, The Matrix, To Kill A Mockingbird and Food, Inc. And because our films come from top studios, they elicit more action and engagement on campus than any other film collection available. Here is a sample of our studio partners: and many more! Licensing Options to Control Your Budget Swank Digital Campus is dedicated to meeting the needs of every campus. Whether you're looking to purchase a library of content or allow your professors needs to drive film selection for assignment to students, we have a licensing model for you. Our unique licensing models are designed to help schools maintain control of their budgets by ensuring films are available while keeping the selection and licensing of those films limited to faculty and library administration. Option 1: Demand-Driven Acquisition 1. Title-by-Title: Simply select the individual movies you need when you need them, and we’ll invoice you when the title is licensed. 2. Deposit Account: Library administrators and faculty have access to all 25,000+ Swank titles but only pay for the specific films you and your instructors need. This option is great for schools who have a budget set aside for streaming films but still want faculty demand to drive selection. Library-Mediated DDA: This function notifies the library administrator or other designated individuals when an instructor requests a film, including all relevant information, so the administrator can make an informed decision on whether or not to license the film. Due to the high-demand nature of our content, the majority of schools using our DDA interface choose this option as it provides insight into campus film use and ensures budgetary control. Traditional DDA: Campus faculty and library administrators receive access to a portal containing our complete catalog of films. Films will be licensed upon request, saving both the library staff and faculty’s time. Option 2: Library Collection A library collection can prove invaluable for campuses wanting immediate access to films at the most cost-effective price. They’re fast, easy and can save your library valuable time. Customized Option: Libraries who already know the films needed by professors are able to curate their own collections for their campus. We offer various pricing options intended to save money on a per title basis depending on the volume of titles selected. Pre-Selected Collection: Because we work with so many schools all across the country, we have established data on the films most often utilized by professors for educational support. We use this data to create pre-set collections, like Top Title Collection, Documentary Collection and Film Study Collection. ALL © Warner Bros.
