If you want to show them at Nursing homes, you'll need to rent them. I believe Swank handles Disney films....

Would Joe have to rent them if he doesn't charge admission and he doesn't advertise?

Yes. You need to rent them for any public performance.

I thought a public performance means that the public has access to it. That would not be the case in a nursing home.

That modern sound pictures has to be the WORST ! website I have ever seen from any commercial entity.

Amazing that in this day and age they are still renting 16mm films. I thought the format is dead.

AFAIK showing a film in a nursery home, in a jail, on an oil-rigg, ... is all considered a "public performance" in nearly all countries, even though it's a very limited "public" in these cases.
It would be a "non-public performance" when you could name every spectator by heart (or at least say something like "it's the new boy-friend of uncle Donald's oldest daughter"). And I doubt that you do know everyone that good in that nursery home.
I guess there's a maximum number of spectators for a "non-public performance", too. (It might be around 30 spectators, but I'm neither 100% sure for Germany, nor do I know the actual laws in your country.)

I Have A 35mm Film That I'm Sure will Be A Big hit at The Retirement center or the play school even.... It's Called Flipper (1963) Complete and in great shape... i'd let it go for $250.00 plus Shipping...


COMMENTs : Aimed at kids from the cutesy theme song on (which is still in my head), it painted our sea mammal friend as a heroic, lovable thing, and had a nice- looking, nice-guy dad in Brian Kelly, plus two cute kids. Flipper was amazing- especially the first season! The underwater scenes were groundbreaking for its time, but best of all...it was funny and the story lines were decent.

It's also nice to watch Miami (a city I'm familiar with) back during a time when it was still so innocent;) The wilderness gave you a sense of adventure. What kid in his right mind wouldn't want to live in Florida and swim with a dolphin everyday?
