PS Disco Pigs is going to be nightmare. It does not appear to ever been released theatrically in the US and the home video release is from a company I believe is gone and in any event would not have owned those rights. You are basically on your own finding the rights holder who is overseas and never made a deal for US public shows. I would start with the original review in VARIETY which would have the production company and possibly sales company and start googling to see what you can find. Sadly I think way over 90% of films made outside the US get any kind of theatrical distribution.

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.
