For decades, we (Milestone cofounders Dennis Doros and Amy Heller) were hands on with every aspect of the company’s distribution business.Then in 2021, after Milestone entered into an agreement with Kino Lorber, we began collaborating with a wonderful crew of dedicated and hardworking film professionals who could — and did — take over the day-to-day work of publicity, design, booking, production, and marketing. What would we do with more time on our hands?

Well, the schedule above gives you some idea of what we have been up to. While we kid that Dennis has never met a film he didn’t want to restore, it is true that we both remain excited to “mess” with the canon by discovering, restoring, and introducing audiences to great films outside the mainstream of movie making.

Milestone’s “luck” has always come from a great community of cinephiles, archivists, filmmakers, and friends. Every restoration premiering this year has been possible thanks to the advice, funding, expertise, and generosity of these folks — and so many others:
Ron and Suzanne Naples and Jesse Pires at the Lightbox/University of the Arts, Philadelphia
