Free Zone
Acclaimed French director Amos Gitai explores the bitter realities of Middle Eastern conflict in the fascinating, award-winning road movie that gives a rare glimpse into a part of the world, from Jerusalem's Wailing Wall to Jordan, that is often seen on news broadcasts but seldom seen in the movies. Free Zone, the first Israeli movie filmed in an Arab country, stars the Jerusalem born, Hollywood beauty Natalie Portman (V For Vendetta, Star Wars), as Rebecca, an American Jewish woman, who, having just split from her Spanish-Israeli fiance, embarks on a road trip with an unlikely group. Celebrated actress Carmen Maura also makes an appearance.
Tigrero
Sometime in the 1950s legendary Hollywood character Samuel Fuller, who directed Naked Kiss, Shock Corridor and a host of other groundbreaking films, journeyed deep into the heart of Brazil to research a film for notorious studio boss Darryl F Zanuck. The film never came to fruition, but some 40 years later, Fuller, accompanied by latter day American auteur Jim Jarmusch retraced his steps to meet again with the indigenous tribes people. The tale of that return journey is told in the ambitious, beautiful and truly fascinating film Tigrero. Subtitled A Film That Was Never Made and directed by Mika Kaurismaki (Zombie And The Ghost Train), it will be released for the first time on DVD in the UK on 17 November 2008, courtesy of Bluebell Films.
Baraka: Remastered

Then the frame-by-frame restoration work began! The results are remarkable to witness and this incredible film can be seen as never before.

Both Devil Hunter and Bloody Moon will be receiving their worldwide DVD debut courtesy of Severin Films on 10 November 2008.

Black God White Devil
Widely considered to be the greatest Brazilian film of all time, Black God, White Devil (Deus e o Diabo na Terra do Sol) influenced such major filmmakers as Martin Scorsese and Sergio Leone and is Glauber Rocha's finest and most moving work. An epic and moving work, Black God, White Devil blends mysticism, religion, and popular culture, into a powerful, bleak and cruel epic, that unashamedly expresses its frustration with many of the major institutions of Brazilian life - government, Church and corrupt landowners. This masterpiece of cinema makes its UK DVD debut, courtesy of Mr Bongo Films on 3 November 2008.
