Abstract: Between the production of a motion picture and its showing lies the essential step of distribution or circulation by which the potential user learns of its availability and acquires it for his use. This paper briefly reviews the history and growth of the field of film distribution; analyzes the various channels and procedures used today by film distribution agencies; and surveys representative distributors, libraries and user groups, correlating the business and fiscal policies under which subjects are acquired and circulated.
