Film Booking Service

Faculty can book films in advance by contacting Karen McCoy (call 619-644-7491, or email karen.mccoy@gcccd.edu). Instructors can also provide a list of films and what dates the films will be needed. The request can be made at the beginning of each semester, or a few days before the film(s) are needed.
