Well, you're best bet is to check out the schedules of local 'art' theatres
-- ones that show other than first run movies. (Some show 1 first run, and
some other 'old' or 'special intrest' movies.)  You know... The theatres
that carry "My Life as a Dog", "Surf Nazis Must Die", "Polyester" and
"Pink Flamingoes" (as a double feature).  *Those* type of theatres. :-)
In the Houston area, River Oaks Theatre carried it.  In Indiana I'd guess
you'd have to go to the capital, or wherever the art people hang out.

(Shameless plug for participation in college orginizations follows..)
I would also suggest that you go to a meeting of your university's
"film board" or whatever group brings movies onto campus and suggest
this film.  "Film boards" are usually understaffed for people and ideas --
your offer of you and your friends to help work the movie might be
all it takes to get their sponsorship...
