already exists

You can purchase a DVD right from our website. If you are
screening a 35mm print this should be ordered from SWANK.
- Rent a movie screen and a DVD projector
- Clear the copyright for viewing Gandhi
with SWANK
(costs vary per venue and start at $100). Our understandin is
that licensing fees are legally required whether you are charging
admission for your event or not. The only exception we are aware
of is if you are hosting a screening in your home. Please check

of about 1-2 hours. You'll need Windows Media Player and a PC
