Hi Myron,
It's a relative question...to be honest "most" projection venues are not going to be set up for 16mm period these days--only 35mm and/or video.
But if you are bringing your own 16mm projector it should not be difficult to find a model that would play at both speeds. Some of the older projectors will even project at 16 fps.
I could certainly see how for some experimental works 18 fps could be desirable.
Good luck with your project.
Ed
