It is a Paramount silent so Paramount owns it ( note they do not own their films from 1928-48) thus Swank has rights BUT they likely have no clue. The real problem would be that they presumably do not have a digital file that Swank could use and studios do not allow other parties to stream their films from a DVD. So best thing is to ask Swank to ask Paramount but do not get your hopes up

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.
