3 Reasons Your Film Festival/Film Society Should Carry Insurance

Written by Mike Groner | Nov 1, 2022 7:52:02 PM

At Front Row, we have worked hard to create a smash hit film screening/movie release party insurance program designed to provide the most comprehensive insurance coverage for your event. This insurance is ideal for film festivals and film societies in the US and Canada hosting screening events.

Why you need film screening insurance:

  1. Most venues require that you carry liability insurance. This coverage protects you and the festival organizer against claims of bodily injury and property damage arising out of your film festival operations. Even if it’s not a requirement of the venue, you may be held liable for any claims that arise as a result of your event. This coverage can also be extended to cover workshops and panel discussions.
  2. Are you having a host bar or throwing an after party? Including liquor liability coverage will provide the necessary protection if you are sued or brought into a lawsuit due to a liquor-related incident.
  3. Damages to premises rented to you covers physical damage to the rented property / venue during the insured event for which you are legally liable. Your venue may require this additional coverage.
