Here's your Friday afternoon on-my-way-out-the-door cut-and-paste from Blu-ray.com:
I believe the article is somewhat in error as New Yorker is the former distributor of some of Cinema Guild's titles; Cinema Guild does not appear to have purchased or licensed any New Yorker titles proper. Still, that's a hell of a line-up.Cinema Guild Prepares for Blu-ray Releases
Posted March 6, 2009 02:36 PM by Josh Dreuth
The Cinema Guild has announced that they recently started a Home Video division and will soon begin to release Blu-ray movies, some from the New Yorker Home Video line.

* Ellen Kuras's “The Betrayal” – 2009 Academy Award nominee for Best Documentary Feature
* Jia Zhang'ke's “24 City”

Ditto, and don't overlook among the big name auteur films The Order of Myths, a really terrific documentary, one of the best I saw last year.Matt wrote:Still, that's a hell of a line-up.

Re: Cinema Guild
I was wondering, have you also looked into digital distribution methods, eg. VOD or through i-Tunes or Amazon? This might be a way of getting this great material out to a wider audience.

We have. In fact, many of our titles are available on Cable VOD through Eurocinema and in the coming months, titles like THE UNFORESEEN, will be available on iTunes, Amazon, Hulu, etc.Nothing wrote:I was wondering, have you also looked into digital distribution methods, eg.

Oh, is Soi Cowboy coming out in the US or the UK? Caught this again at the BangkokIFF and it really repays repeat viewing - surely the best film at Cannes '08 (with the caveat that I've yet to see Liverpool).

Saw the AE yesterday. Saw Beaver's comparison too and the CG disc is not good, not by a long shot compared to the AE.cinemaguild wrote:Christian Petzold's YELLA will be released in the US on February 24, 2009.

Re: Cinema Guild
Given all your other stellar releases I'm very excited to see what you come up with for additional material on Eccentricities, especially as there will be a lot of space on that disc to fill.
Also, are these titles you've just listed positioned for a fall video release?

Re: Cinema Guild
I was very glad you included the lengthy interview with Claire Denis on the 35 SHOTS OF RUM DVD (although it's too bad the clips weren't included, presumably for rights reasons).
