I can only speak for Boston, but most of our venues seem to have
projectors that can screen at silent and sound speed for 16mm.
However, when Nick Dorsky came to town, he talked about how hard it
was to get his films screened at the correct speed (he called it
"sacred speed," which was 18 fps, except for one of his films, which
was supposed to be screened at 17 fps), so it might be tough to get 18
fps in some places.
