film re-distribution inconnu 07/23/19 (Tue) 16:28:36 No.15443

A thread to share some films that were forgotten by time and deserve much more love (and distribution) in modern times.

Me and my friend just started a film revival company and we recently got the 35mm print of Madness Gli Occhi Della Luna of Cesare Rau to possibly re-distribute the film on dvd/blu-ray or just a straight up magnet, its the first one of many we plan to restore so I guess this is also a thread for possible restorations, if you're all interested in a specific film, and/or have any info we'll be glad to help. I'll be posting the films that we will possibly restore in the near future and updates from the current run.

How much does it cost do scan the print?

For Madness, I think we plan to release it along with the two posters and the lobby card print.

Not sure, a private collector helped us with the scan but I'll try to ask him and I'll update you

I take it's only italian movies, right?

There's a cool one by Gillo Pontecorvo called La Grande Strada Azzurra, i don't like the guy nor his politics but i think that movie is worth a shot, also no DVDs since long time ago. I was going to suggest Ogro too but i read that already has a scan and commercial release, so...

I bet it costs a mean coin to pull this venture isn't it

Thank you for the recommendation! I'll see what I can do. Was Pontecorvo a fascist or a communist?

No no, its not just italian movies but I guess its coincidental since most forgotten movies are from the 60's/70's and Italy was printing mad film back then. I guess it helps that I recently moved to southern Italy so its also easier for us to eventually reach libraries or collectors for the negatives. My partner works in the U.S.

And yeah, the expenses can reach astronomical figures if we're not careful (or lucky!)

A jewish rumored-homosexual champagne communist, but from what i gathered he had a very decent work ethic regarding his movies' portrayals, as in he researched the topic in person or among historians and tried to do sober, neutral points of views.

He only made 5 full-length films, all pretty decent, the rest are documentaries which i haven't checked well.

So not only Italian stock then, if i ever stumble around a print now i know who i will send it to, although there's nothing good printed around my area. Best of luck, buddy.
