You can get the Class instance for the MovieAuxiliaries class by way of the class instance variable attached to the MovieAuxiliaries class:

  *-- MovieAuxiliaries class 
  v 
MovieAuxiliaries.class 
---------------------- 
  ^ 
  *-- Instance of Class class, the companion class 

Once you retrieve a class's companion Class instance, you can use the getResource method on that instance, together with a file name, to produce a location description:

            *-- Instance of Class class,  
            |   the companion of the MovieAuxiliaries class 
            v 
          ---------------------- 
URL url = MovieAuxiliaries.class.getResource(fileName)  
          -------------------------------------------- 
            ^ 
            *-- A location description
