------------------
Barbara,

There are several companies which hold the public performance rights (PPR) 
of foreign films.

The ones I've used are:

1. New Yorker Films (www.newyorkerfilms.com)
Contact: Jonathan Howell
(877) 247-6200 - Phone
(212) 645-3232 - Fax

2. Swank Motion Pictures, Inc. (www.swank.com)
Contact: Tiffany Ellis
(800) 876-5577 -  Phone
(314) 289-2192 - Fax

3. Zeitgeist Films (www.zeitgeistfilms.com)
Contact: Clemence Taillandier or Emily Woodburne
(212) 274-1989 - Phone
(212) 274-1644 - Fax

Others:
Kino International (www.kino.com)
First Run Features (www.firstrunfeatures.com)
Lot 47 Films (www.lot47.com)
Wellspring Media (www.wellspring.com)
California Newsreel (www.newsreel.org)

The fee these companies charge, which range mostly from about 150.00-500.00 
per film, is to show the movie one time only, and without charging your 
audience.

For two years in a row, we have paid for the PPR of several films for an 
annual international film festival, held here at the beginning of the 
spring semester.  As you'll discover, this can get quite expensive, fast.

Swank prices are more reasonable, and they do own the rights to many 
films.  You can call all of them to request a catalog.

Best of luck,
Henny
