ScreenVue is the result of a joint venture and partnership between Christian Video Licensing International (CVLI) and Christian Copyright Licensing International (CCLI) and Motion Picture Licensing Corporation (MPLC).

ScreenVue first launched in 2003 as a service of CVLI. The CVLI Church Video License provides legal coverage for churches and for other ministry organizations to show DVDs, Blu-rays, movie downloads and streams of motion pictures. Each organization needs to be specifically covered. Coverage includes playing just a few seconds of a movie all the way up to showing the full-length feature.

Each *Total Producer Church Video License* and *Standard CVLI Video License* (or any *Church Video Licence* globally) comes with free ScreenVue Vault access.

The ScreenVue Vault offers 10,000+ Scene Ideas and Downloads from a variety of movies and resources. 

ScreenVue saves you hours of time finding that perfect movie illustration for next Sunday’s sermon, child or youth service, or video announcement! 

All Scene Ideas (using your own copy or rental; via Blu-ray, DVD, streaming or download) include a scene summary, themes and time cues. 

With Scene *Downloads, simply preview, download and use instantly. 

(*ScreenVue does not sell or rent entire digital copies of movies to download. To purchase or rent entire movies, please access services like Amazon, Google or Vudu).

About Us


### CCLI

Christian Copyright Licensing International (CCLI) was established in 1988 to provide churches with simple, affordable solutions to complex copyright issues. CCLI helps churches maintain their integrity while giving them the freedom to worship expressively and spontaneously.

Churches often face copyright infringement issues in two areas: 1) copying music without permission, and 2) showing movies without authorization.

For copying music to assist with congregational singing, the Church Copyright License provides blanket coverage for 300,000+ songs and 4,500+ publishers and song owners. Currently, 240,000+ churches globally are Church Copyright License holders.

### CVLI

From a unique partnership between Christian Copyright Licensing International (CCLI) and Motion Picture Licensing Corporation (MPLC), Christian Video Licensing International (CVLI) and the Church Video License was formed in 2001.

The Church Video License provides churches with legal coverage to show all, or any portion of, thousands of movie titles from a number of movie producers, including all the major studios. Currently, the titles from over 1,000 producers are represented by the Church Video License, including the titles that contain all the Scene Ideas and Scene Downloads that are part of the ScreenVue Vault.

### MPLC

Motion Picture Licensing Corporation (MPLC) was founded in 1986 by former MGM executives and an MPAA attorney. Their goal was to develop a process to help the public leverage the work of the creative community without infringing on copyright.

With decades of experience, MPLC has become the world leader in licensing movies, TV programs, and other content for public performances. Through its Umbrella License® MPLC provides a comprehensive copyright compliance solution that is simple and affordable.

MPLC works closely with a variety of institutions, associations, and antipiracy groups to educate the public about copyright and promote the intellectual property rights of the creative community.

Suspecting her friend Harriet of harboring feelings for a local farmer, Emma questions her about the man.  Harriet, without realizing Emma's prejudices, reveals that he's a plain man, whose education is limited to that of agricultural pursuits.  When Harriet expresses surprise that Emma has never met someone who lives so near, Emma replies: "A family like the Martins are precisely the sort of people with whom I have nothing to do.  A degree or two lower, and I might be useful to their families.  But a farmer needs none of my help and is therefore as much above my notice as he is below it."  Just then, Farmer Martin himself arrives on the scene.  Harriet, whispering excitedly to Emma: "How do I look?"  Emma, haughtily: "Fine, dear.  Good enough, I'm sure, for Mr. Martin."  Harriet, oblivious to Emma's disapproval, begins walking and chatting happily with Mr. Martin.  Emma follows behind, thinking wryly to herself: "Really, Harriet, we can do better than this."

Brimming with excitement, Harriet has brought a letter to show to her dearest friend, Emma.  But when Emma discovers the letter is a marriage proposal from Mr. Martin and not the wealthier Mr. Elton, Emma takes no pains to conceal her disapproval.  Harriet, desperate for her friend's good opinion: "Is it a good letter?"  Emma, reading, reluctantly admits it is, saying a sister must have helped Mr. Martin write it.  Emma, briskly taking her friend's arm: "You must answer it immediately.  He must have his disappointment and move on."  Harriet, looking crestfallen: "You think I should refuse him?"  Emma affects surprise that Harriet would even consider the proposal.  Flustered, Harriet tries to pretend she didn't: "I was not sure.  That is why I came to you."  Emma, acting affronted: "It is not my place to intrude."  Harriet: "But I depend so on what you think!"  Emma, insincerely: "I would not advise you for the world."  Seeing her friend is ready to be swayed, Emma cleverly tells her that if she feels Mr. Martin is truly the best man for her, she shouldn't hesitate.  Harriet, hesitating: "If you'll not influence me, I must do as well as I can by myself, so..."  Harriet stammers, watching Emma's reactions closely: "I am determined to...and I have really almost made up my mind to...refuse Mr. Martin?  Do you think that's right?  Or is it wrong?  Is it wrong?"  Emma, satisfied: "Now that you have decided, I will share the feelings I kept you in suspense of.  I think you are perfectly right."  Emma deftly steers Harriet's thoughts back towards the approved Mr. Elton.

When Emma teases Harriet about her love interest, Harriet asks her friend why she isn't married herself.  Emma, smiling: "I have no inducements to marry.  I lack neither fortune, nor position, and never could I be so important in a man's eyes as I am in my father's."  Harriet, shaking her head: "But to be an old maid like Miss Bates?"  Emma: "She is a poor old maid, and it is only poverty which makes celibacy contemptible.  A single woman of good fortune is always respectable."

Emma is avidly listening to Mr. Weston as he is about to reveal an exciting piece of personal news when she receives a light tap on the shoulder.  Turning around, she sees Mr. Elton, who asks her if she is warm enough.  Smiling, Emma confirms she is comfortable and turns quickly back to hear Mr. Weston's news.  Receiving another tap on the shoulder, Emma turns reluctantly back to Mr. Elton, who mentions that some other ladies expressed discomfort as to the temperature.  Emma quickly assures him of her contentment and begins to turn back to Mr. Weston, but Mr. Elton stops her, anxious to be reassured she is comfortable.  Emma: "Mr. Elton, I am in the perfect state of warmness."  Emma turns back just as Mr. Weston is continuing his tantalizing story, but she is not allowed to hear more than a few words before Mr. Elton again taps on her shoulder.  Emma tries to hide her annoyance.  Mr. Elton: "Miss Woodhouse, is there any effort I might make on behalf of your father's comfort?"  Emma: "You are very kind, but I can only imagine he is quite comfortable.  Thank you for being so thoughtful."  Mr. Elton: "No, thank you for thinking I am thoughtful."  Emma is about to turn when she sees Mr. Elton's hand begin to rise toward her shoulder.  She forestalls the coming tap by requesting a cup of punch.  Mr. Elton, eagerly: "I only hope I can complete the task quickly enough."  Emma, concealing her eagerness for his departure: "Please.  I could not enjoy it if I knew that you had hurried."  Emma turns back to Mr. Weston just in time to hear a woman exclaim: "Thrilling.  Simply thrilling news!"  Mr. Weston: "And that was the end of the letter."  Emma sighs, her shoulders sagging in disappointment.

Having heard through the grapevine that the Coles are having a party, Emma is surprised not to have received an invitation.  Asking her father if one has arrived in the mail, she pretends to not care if one has: "Of course, we should have to decline, as they are beneath us."  The next day, Emma again looks through the mail, rolling her eyes in disappointment that an invitation still has not arrived.  The following day, Emma is sitting calmly on a sofa when her father walks by, asking if the mail has arrived.  Emma, claiming to not notice the mail, sneaks the letters back out from under her skirt after her father leaves the room.  That evening, Emma complains petulantly to her father: "Why do they not write?  Perhaps they know I must reject them.  Still, as close friends of the Westons, they should have the courtesy to extend the invitation.  Unless they don't want me!  But I cannot - - "  Emma continues her sentence later at the Coles' party: " - - tell you how delighted I am to have been invited, Mrs. Cole."  Shaking Mrs. Cole's hand, she enters her parlor to mingle with the other guests.

Emma is seething from a recent encounter with Mrs. Elton, a woman she has decided she detests.  She's unburdening herself to her friend, Harriet.  Emma, disgusted, is describing Mrs. Elton's vulgarity.  Harriet, when Emma takes a breath, begins to express her own initial positive reaction to the woman: "I saw her at church.  She seemed - - "  Emma, interrupting: "Vulgar?  Base?  Conceited?  Crass?"  Quickly replacing her frown with a warm smile, Emma greets an acquaintance passing on the side of the road.  As soon as the woman passes, Emma continues to complain about Mrs. Elton.  Each time Emma passes a friend, she quickly transitions from nasty gossip to friendly greeting, always returning to her original subject.  Emma: "She proposed that we form a musical club!  Is it possible that Mr. Elton met her while doing charitable work in a mental infirmary?"  Harriet is silent while Emma completes her tirade.  Emma: "There is only one thing to do with a person as impossible as she.  I must throw a party for her.  Otherwise, everyone will feel at once how much I dislike her."

Emma and her friends are enjoying a picnic lunch when Frank suggests they play a game.  He instructs everyone to think of something clever to say, or to say three dull things if they cannot.  The kindly, but tedious, Miss Bates jokes that she's glad she has the option of saying something dull.  Emma, angry at being snubbed by the Eltons, lashes out at Miss Bates, saying that the woman will have a hard time limiting the number of dull things she says.  Everyone grows silent as Miss Bates digests Emma's words.  As the spinster realizes Emma's meaning, her face falls.  Miss Bates, quietly: "I see...I..I...see what she means.  And I'll try and hold my tongue.  I must make myself very disagreeable or she would not have said such a thing to an old...friend."  The atmosphere is palpably painful as the friends watch Miss Bates's spirit crushed by Emma's words.
