I've worked with Swank before. They have a really huge catalogue.
Generally if you don't charge admission to the film you can get the
rights to show it for a very low fee (a few hundred dollars at most).
If you charge admission, then you have to document your attendance--if
it's more than a certain number of people, and that number will vary
according to the film, then you have to pay a percentage of the total
you have taken in.  Some films also have restrictions on how many people
total you can show it to--for some films it is about 200 people, for
others it's 750 or 1000.

However, if you show a Swank film there are limits to how much you can
advertise the showing.  You can't buy advertising time or space, for
example, but you can put it in your newsletters or mail a flyer to your
membership or put a notice on your own website.
