Reservations & Film Programming

Getting Started

If your student group, department or off-campus business or organization would like to reserve Lumina Theater for a film event, you will first need to secure Public Performance Rights for your film. Please review the Guide for Film Programmers (PDF) and the Lumina Reservation Policies to help get you started.

Before submitting a request, you may also wish to review the Lumina Theater event schedule to eliminate previously booked dates and times. For rental costs associated with Lumina Theater, please reference the Lumina Fee Schedule (PDF).

If you would like to find a film to show and don't know where to start, please review offerings from distibutors on Lumina Theater's list of Film Resources and Distributors.
