The time is now!

Today, our last (but not least!) release of 2009 is coming out… The Battle of Chile by Patricio Guzman. As I mentioned earlier in this column, we had to postpone the release to make sure we were bringing you a coherent product and looking back on this decision, it was the right one to make, if I may say so myself.

We are extremely proud to end the year with this set of 4 discs and booklet. It includes the three parts of The Battle of Chile, the film Chile, Obstinate Memory and a 22 minute filmed interview with Patricio Guzman.

In other thrilling news, we are adding the astonishing film The Way Things Go by Swiss artists Peter Fischli and David Weiss to our collection, complimenting our other DVD of their works, The Right Way / The Point of Least Resistance (a personal favorite, I may add). This is particularly timely as there is currently an exhibition of their artwork at the three locations of the Matthew Marks gallery in NYC until January 16th.

As we are preparing our calendar for 2010 and starting to work on more exciting releases, I would like to wish you a happy holiday season and many great film experiences in the new year!
