I'm neither a lawyer nor a representative of Creative Commons, but as
far as I know, charging people for a public display is distributing the
work for commercial advantage, and thus not allowed by the NC license.
Another case where the NC license is stupid and short-sighted.
Strangely, after 2 years of confused questions like this, the
creativecommons.org site still burbles about NC like it's the cure for
cancer.

I'm pretty sure not in this case, either.

It's a really, really complicated and non-intuitive thing. I suggest
that you either a) seek some music that is licensed under a free license
like Attribution or Attribution-ShareAlike, or b) contact the upstream
author to work out a separate license. At the very least, let them know
that their NC license kept their work out of a film festival.
