2009 ended with a bang for us as we released the 4-disc set of THE BATTLE OF CHILE to critical acclaim. "Best DVD of the year!" for MSN.com, "Memorable DVD box set" for The New Yorker are among the numerous accolades the title received. We are, of course, extremely proud, but most of all thrilled to be able to bring this film to a new audience through digital format. So don't wait another minute, get your copy now!
2010 promises to be just as exciting as we are preparing our calendar of releases. We will start with ROCKY ROAD TO DUBLIN together on one disc with THE MAKING OF ROCKY ROAD TO DUBLIN, which reunites director Peter Lennon and cinematographer Raoul Coutard, who recount the making of their then controversial but now classic documentary on Ireland in the Sixties. This definitive edition will be released on March 2nd.
And please check back soon for more announcements and information on our new releases!
