Bringing Back A Lost Western

Dear Arthouse Cinema Fans,

May is usually an exciting month for us and this year is no different.  Corinth is pleased to bring back a lost Western – A Time For Dying  one of legendary director Budd Boetticher’s last films and the last appearance in a motion picture by America’s most famous World War 2 combat veteran, Audie Murphy.  The film has been transferred from a 35mm negative and remastered, and is now available on Amazon Video & Prime!  More VOD and broadcast platforms are under negotiation.
This month Corinth Films is traveling to the Cannes Film Festival where we will be on the lookout for more films to acquire and distribute.  Cannes is the oldest and most prestigious film festival in the world where many of the great works of arthouse cinema were first unveiled, and is quite an event to be experienced by the film enthusiast!
Starting next month, Corinth will begin releasing on VOD its long-lost collection of Laurel & Hardy Laughtoon shorts starting with Big BusinessLiberty, and Should Married Men Go Home? In the meantime, have a look at our new VOD releases and films-coming-soon below and let us know what you think!

Two Classics With A Twist

Dear Arthouse Cinema Fans,

The old saying, better late than never, is certainly the case here as we wanted to include some exciting new developments in our April e-newsletter before delivering it to your inbox.   This month, we have made available on Amazon two classics with a twist – Metropolis and The Phantom of the Opera with our popular Loy Cook music score!  Years ago, Corinth commissioned a talented musician named Loy Cook Jr. to compose a new score for these old films so that viewers could enjoy them all over again, and now we have brought them to Amazon Video and Prime!
We also have a very special project in the works, a remastering of Audie Murphy’s last film A Time For Dying, which is owned by Corinth.  After having this film transferred to digital, an extensive amount of cleanup and editing work is necessary to make the quality as sharp as possible.  Stay tuned for more details on availability in subsequent newsletters.  We also have some new DVD releases coming soon that are available for pre-order on Amazon – see below for more details!
Follow us on our social media platforms, and spread the word about our monthly newsletter list which can be signed up for on our website, www.corinthfilms.com.

(2016 | Greece | Drama)

Athens 2016. The complexities of immigration are exposed when four lives collide within the backdrop of Amerika Square. Two Greek friends, along with a Syrian ex-Military doctor, an African singer and a human trafficker each navigate the refugee crisis in Athens.

NUCLEAR NIGHTMARES

(1980 | USA | Documentary)

From the late science writer Nigel Calder comes Nuclear Nightmares, a visually frightening examination of the world’s Cold War era nuclear weapon infrastructure. Host Peter Ustinov utilizes his wit and charm to narrate for the viewer how the US command and control system functions in both training and in the event of an actual retaliatory nuclear strike, and the chilling means by which airpower, nuclear submarines and underground ICBM launch pads are employed to ensure absolute vengeance on the aggressor. Throughout the film, Ustinov colorfully illustrates several scenarious of what might happen if the missiles are unleashed and so commences ‘the war that must never happen.’
