All of the works in the LUX collection are available to rent. Most film prints are 16mm (although there are some 35mm prints as indicated in the catalogue). Videos can be supplied in a number of formats: VHS, DVD, DVCAM and Beta SP.

There is only one print of most of the film titles and videos require dubbing time, so it is imperative that orders are placed as early as possible to ensure that the work will be available on the dates requested.

Orders must be placed in writing by fax or email. Orders in the United Kingdom must be placed at least 2 weeks before the screening date, international orders must be placed at least 4 weeks in advance. If orders placed after these deadlines are processed, there is an additional handling charge of £10 per item. For orders within 5 business days (UK) / 10 business days (international) of the screening date, where the order can still be processed, this charges doubles to £20 per item.
