There's a very nice prize package involved and the more people who get them all right, the worse odds there are to win it. So why post the answers in a highly public forum?

Merry Christmas!

I suppose now the closing date has passed its a good time to point out that one of those answers is wrong.

[triodelover]

So which one?

[antnield]

18 was Vampyr. I seem to remember another of these was incorrect too, but I can't access the original pics.

Here.

[antnield]

Ta. The other incorrect one was 9 which was From Here to Eternity.

[Duncan Hopper]

Yep, number 9 was the one I was thinking of.

Fassbinder's Despair coming on 23rd April.

[Kauno]

Fassbinder's Despair coming on 23rd April.

Coming up: Yet another blu-ray release of Despair without English/ English HOH subtitles. I would need those subs.

[eerik]

La mort en direct aka Death Watch will be released on 1st October, both Blu-ray and DVD.

It obviously was never subtitled for some reason. I can't understand why because they made an excellent job of the transfer.

ReelScotland Interview with one of Park Circus' directors

[MichaelB]

Thanks for that - it's also a really good general introduction to what an independent distributor does.

And very nostalgic for me, because I worked in a very similar environment in the early 1990s, only digital and 3-D weren't issues then. Neither were DVD or Blu-ray, come to that.

I think we should celebrate Scottish film more and try to get access to more Scottish films. There’s a tendency to say a lot of it is depressing, but that’s not true.

Interestingly this month's Sight and Sound has a feature about the most recent Park Circus theatrical restoration - of Betrand Tavernier's Glasgow-set, Romy Schneider and Harvey Keitel starring Death Watch.

EDIT: Ah, I see eerik had mentioned it above!

[David M.]

Wow, I used to live near one of those places. I really want to see this now!

In UK cinemas on 1 June. I wanted to see this on its first release and so far have failed, so I will be making sure I finally catch up with this. It's based on a 1974 novel, The Continuous Katherine Mortenhoe by D.G. Compton, which I read thirty or so years ago - it's being reprinted in October.

[eerik]

Park Circus now have UK and Eire rights for Méliès’ 1902 short A Trip to the Moon and The Extraordinary Voyage - Serge Bromberg’s documentary about the film, the rediscovery of the nitrite print in colour in 1993 and its subsequent restoration. Park Circus holds theatrical, non-theatrical, home video, television, and VOD and DTO rights on both films.

[Calvin]

Lovely news regarding A Trip to the Moon. It deserves a UK release.

Also, when I asked them about Harold Lloyd on Blu-Ray they replied saying "no plans yet but watch this space..." which I presume translates to 'we've got the rights to and we want to but we haven't started planning yet/we're waiting on restorations'

[Peacock]

A heads up. The UK Blu-ray of Despair is 1080i50 so isn't playable on some US displays. No idea why they decided to encode this way when the Olive is 1080p. So AVOID! Guess this is what happens when you get a company that rarely sends out review copies. It also lacks HoH subs like the Olive.

And in case it wasn't mentioned before, on the plus side, Park Circus' I Only Want you to Love Me has optional subs - unlike the Olive.

[TMDaines]

I don't think Olive's has HoH subs as that is what people always moan at Olive about.
