I think it will get harder and harder to track down streaming rights for academic use because it is a slightly unusual right and many companies are simply skipping theatrical and non theatrical and in some cases even physical rights when the negotiate contracts on older films which would mean that any rights not explicit in contract would remain with overall rights holder which especially with foreign films is either a large conglomerate or an individual both of which are likely to be a bitch to negotiate with for something like this. I notice it has not been released in Blu ray which is often a sign the rights holder is not that active. I doubt IFC has had rights for ages ( most contracts in those days were 7-10 years. Since Netflix clearly has the most recent contact with rights holder they would likely have the info but NO IDEA how to get that from them.

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.
