If there are PPR rights available in the US they should belong to Swank, the problem is the film is 11 years old and most contracts on foreign films run 7 to 10 years. If Swank does not have it your best bet on tracking the PPR rights are whoever is currently distributing the DVD IF it is still currently available. Chances are they don't own it but if they are nice they can tell you where they got the home video rights from and it is likely the same place. It is alas not uncommon for the PPR rights to basically belong to the original production company. I forget the exact name but I believed this is produced by the major Japanese animation studio. Should be easy enough to google and you have to hope you can find someone there who is friendly. Part of the problem is that a lot of companies simply have no interest in the PPR rights so they are not in the home video contracts and thus belong to original studio/producer etc. This is very much the case with foreign films.

VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control, preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and related institutions. It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and distributors.
