The filmmakers of the films in our archive are charter members of the Clearinghouse of South Asian Non-fiction Films. Many of these filmmakers already have contracts with us granting us official distribution rights for their respective films. For films which we do not have distribution rights for, we shall contact the filmmakers and direct interested buyers to them or their distributors.

The films can be purchased for non-commercial purposes through the Clearinghouse (see Terms and Conditions of Sale). They may be ordered here using our online order form or by email or phone.
