The company that released in the US is LONG gone.The home video and streaming rights are owned by Cinedigm. It is possible but unlikely they own exhibition rights but that would certainly be the place to start because whoever they have the rights from probably owns the exhibition rights or knows who does.
http://www.cinedigm.com/ Sadly it is very, very common for older indie films including the vast majority of foreign films not to have an exhibition rights holder in the US. Most contracts were for 7-10 years and at the end of that time the rights would likely revert to original production company, studio etc and these days with the focus on streaming there is very little interest in acquiring exhibition rights in cases where a US company acquires rights to older titles. Fun stuff. Jessica On Tue, Sep 15, 2015 at 3:53 PM, Oling, Rebecca <[email protected]> wrote: > My school is considering using "Rivers and Tides" for Earth Week.

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.
