Wouldn't these screenings constitute a violation of the law, if they charged people (i.e. so-called 'Donations') to view it?

That depends on the details of their rental of the film. If the film copyright owner rents the film for showing in a theater, this is probably OK.

I think that the web site of the leftists has advice for complying with copyright law.
