I searched the archives for the answer to this question, and didn't find
exactly what I was looking for.  We have a large collection of short
educational videos for children, including Eyewitness, Magic School Bus, and
National Geographic Kids.  We would like to show these during a summer film
festival, but I can't seem to find a company that will license them.  Swank,
Criterion, Kino and other companies seem to only carry feature films.  I can
find companies that will provide umbrella licenses for libraries and schools
but not for museums.  Do I need to go to each distributor individually, or
does anyone know of any companies that specialize in films of this type?

Thanks so much,
