MoC Forthcoming, Wishlist, and Random Speculation

[Cinosyrc]

What about A Brighter Summer Day?

What about the heart attack I'll have if they announce that?

[eerik]

incl. a rare, sought-after cinephile treasure

The Last Movie finally?

Nick just tweeted: Tried to get THE LAST MOVIE for MoC, a year or two before Hopper died. There was no HD master or inclination from the owners to make one.

[TMDaines]

Would love to think it that their hinting wasn't hyperbolic and we'd get something special, like a 100th anniversary edition of a rare silent, e.g. Der Student von Prag.

[Tommaso]

Which reminds me, for those who don't know yet: the newly restored 1913 "Student von Prag" will be shown on arte TV on April 16.

But it's not likely that MoC would have already gotten the rights for a release so soon. And of course a true 100th anniversary edition should include the two later versions as well. But I wouldn't even expect such a release to come from Filmmuseum...

I rather think "Limite", "Finis Terrae" or "Page of Madness" are indeed likely choices.

[TMDaines]

I hope someone will be recording and delivering a beautiful rip over on KG, ala Mutter Krausens Fahrt ins Glück.

Hopefully Edition Filmmuseum will pick up the pace later this year, because their announced titles are truly mouthwatering.

Twitter: We will be live-tweeting our June/July title announcements on Monday at 11am GMT. Tune in!

[peerpee]

ie. 12 noon BST for the UK.

[TMDaines]

Was wondering the same. People always seem to use GMT just to refer to what time it is in Britain, even though in summer it's incorrect.

[imhotep]

Is that 1 pm CET?

[repeat]

1 pm CEST, to be precise

[RossyG]

Actually it's CE(S)T: Colonies of England (States) Time.

[swo17]

Either way, it's Way Too Early in the Morning for most of the English-speaking world.

[TMDaines]

It'll be around primetime in India, no? ^^

Anyway, it's 11am BST according to Facebook.

[Drucker]

I get to work in the morning and the titles are announced. I love it.

[andyli]

I wake up and get to look at a fabulous cover of OUT 1 or A BRIGHT SUMMER DAY. Love that!

[Adam X]

Not counting those who live in your future, anyway.

[Numero Trois]

1 pm CEST, to be precise

1 pm CEST is that long lost Godard / Lelouch agitprop short from the early seventies.

[TMDaines]

MoC's tweeting has started! Always find this more exciting than Criterion's announcements.

[TMDaines]

June:

The Naked Island Blu-ray
Kuroneko Blu-ray

July:

Tabu Blu-ray & DVD (The new cover is boring - what happened to using original poster art!)
Birth of a Nation Blu-ray & DVD
Le pont du nord Blu-ray & DVD

[Gregor Samsa]

Tabu Blu-ray & DVD (The new cover is boring - what happened to using original poster art!)

Fair point. At least Birth of a Nation has vintage art, and looks better for it.

Going for the pink market?

[RossyG]

I think the new Tabu cover is going for the pink market.

[Drucker]

I'm just so happy Tabu has arrived...was worried it would be put to the side. Will pre-order that immediately. May even finally get a copy of Birth Of a Nation.

(1) We've pretty much finalized our schedule for the rest of 2013, but will be announcing our August/September titles in two months' time.

(2) A few weeks from now, we'll be announcing an incredibly exciting new acquisition which we'll be releasing theatrically at year's end and in The MoC Series at the beginning of 2014.
