I watched Book of Life and have The Girl from Monday and No Such Thing lined up. Anyway I wish he wouldn't charge so much for shipping, it makes getting the Blu-ray really expensive...

The goals for this have just been amended, with now both films included for the lowest goal and the 'stretch' goal amounts reduced, so it seems like a more attractive prospect now.

Grasshopper posted it in their thread, but figured it's worth a cross-post.

Potentially good news on this front! I received an e-mail yesterday from IndieCollect to the Kickstarter backers:
IndieCollect wrote:Dear Kickstarter Backers,
My deep apologies to those among you who have waited so long and faithfully for your Apparatus Collection Blu-ray. We are not going to let you down, I promise.
Blu-ray Update
New restoration software has enabled the IndieCollect team to go back and touch up all 10 of the films we restored. The next step is to transcode all 10 films, author the Blu-ray menus and test the Blu-ray. Then it can be sent to the replication house.
Meanwhile we have created first draft of the cover and spine design (below):
Thank you so much for your patience as we endeavour to finish the
APPARATUS COLLECTION Blu-ray.
Best regards,
Sandra Schulberg and the IndieCollect Team

Guess I'm not on their email list after I got particularly impatient with them one day and left a ah, negative comment on their Kickstarter page.

And this turned up in my post today, together with a wonderful note from the production manager apologising again (unnecessarily) for the slight delay in producing the set!
The design of the packaging for the set itself is really nice. The box is thin cardboard with each of the seven feature films given its own Blu-ray case inside it. All are numbered as well from Alice (1) to Insect (7)! (EDIT: Ah,
petoluk has put up pictures of it here!)
(This might only strengthen the case currently being made against me as a hoarder, but I think I might just keep the carboard box it was delivered in for posterity as well. After all when else am I going to have a delivery from the Czech Republic to be able to point to, let alone one with Jan Švankmajer's production company listed on the return address label?)

Sadly, they screwed up my package by only sending me the art book and just one BD (of Insect), thus forcing me to do a quick paranoia check to make sure that I really had explicitly pledged for multiple discs. (I had, fortunately.)
I'm sure they'll sort everything out once the current chaos is over - it's been three years since my original investment so I can easily manage a few more weeks.

Kickstarter for Matt Zoller Seitz’/Seitz’s/Seitzes? A Lie Agreed Upon: The Deadwood Chronicles
Pledge US$ 30 or more
A LIE AGREED UPON (signed)
A LIE AGREED UPON: THE DEADWOOD CHRONICLES is a book by Matt Zoller Seitz, author of The Wes Anderson Collection and Mad Men Carousel and co-author of TV: The Book and The Sopranos Sessions. It covers the making of all three seasons of HBO's Deadwood plus the movie, plus information on the career of David Milch's career before and after the series.
A LIE AGREED UPON is a collectors' item designed to resemble a weathered hardbound Bible from the 1900s, with faux-gold leaf edges, and some sections done in chapter-and-verse. It will include hand drawn illustrations by Max Dalton (who illustrated three MZS books) and an introduction by bestselling author Megan Abbott (Dare Me), who also wrote the intro to Mad Men Carousel.
In the spirit of this great series about community, Seitz will interview dozens of people associated with every level of the production, from series creator David Milch, the directors, and the stars, down to extras, stable hands, and production assistants.
INCLUDES:
Signed by the author
ESTIMATED DELIVERY
Nov 2020

Sadly that Matt Zoller Seitz project only ships within the US, otherwise I'd have been on it like a shot!
Whilst on the site though I just caught this project by Ben Model to put the two complete survivng
Douglas MacLean silent films held by the Library of Congress to DVD, One a Minute (1921) and Bell Boy 13 (1923), with Model providing a new score.
Three days are left and it has already made its goal.

The Kickstarter for the 4K restoration of Out of the Blue has been launched
I'm a bit confused, seeing as it has a confirmed Venice Classics premiere. Will it be cancelled if the Kickstarter doesn't reach its goal?
A Blu-Ray will set you back $50 - interestingly, it seems like they're going to send you the local release if they manage to reach a distribution deal in your territory. $295 will get you a poster signed by Linda Manz.

I'm confused too. I thought Venice would be screening the 35mm restoration, but I didn't realize until now that it was done all the way back in 2008 and it seems clear they'll be premiering the 4K version. My guess is the funds from the Kickstarter will go towards creating masters for home media and subtitles in additional languages, and/or towards the restoration's U.S. theatrical release (which it sounds like Discovery will be handling themselves). But it's not clear on that at all.

The campaign surpassed its goal with 2 weeks to spare yesterday, thanks to a generous $10k contribution. It seems additional funds from now on will go towards the theatrical re-release.

Robert Woodhead has created a Kickstarter for a Blu-ray release of the
three film Megazone 23 OVA series from 1985 through 1989 which has already made its goal within 24 hours. They have only been able to confirm the ability to send discs to the United States so far, but I have been regularly checking it every day or so in hopes that this somehow becomes available internationally. If it does, I will certainly throw in a pledge for it.
Here's the trailer for the first film in the series

Some good news regarding that Megazone 23 Kickstarter above. Apparently while the Kickstarter has come to an end there has been a deal done to licence the rights for international territories, so people in Canada and the EU can back it now through the AnimEigo site (although for some reason Italy is excepted)

"The Video Letter of Elina Lowensohn", in support of Hal Hartley's Where to Land.
With 10 days to go, this is unfortunately struggling to even make it past the 50% mark. Hope he gets to make this somehow, regardless.

The Kickstarter for Hal Hartley's
Where to Land only has 4 days to go. Somehow it's ever so slowly increasing, but it still needs US$90,000 to pass the finish line. If you were thinking of backing this to help him make another feature film (probably his last independently financed one), now's the time! You know you want to. Well I want you to.
I'd like to see this damn film of his get made.
Happy New Year everyone \:D/
