Arrow & Terry Gilliam Need Your Help.

[Mr Kite]

Arrow Films are embarking on an ambitious project to reclaim Walerian Borowczyk as one of the great names in world cinema. They plan on releasing a box set including 5 of his feature films and 14 of his short films next spring. Plans at the moment are to include all of this in HD, apart from one feature, Goto, Island of Love which is currently only available in SD. But with your help, a new restoration can be undertaken and we can get Goto in HD as well:

Terry Gilliam, heavily influenced by Walerian Borowczyk, is backing the project. Pledges start at as little as £1, though £20 will get you a copy of the single Goto, Island of Love Blu-ray, whilst £60 will get you the 4 disc Blu-ray, 7 disc DVD box set itself (plus £3 for non-UK delivery). For those interested in such things, James White will be handling the restoration work and David Mackenzie the Encoding.



For those with little to no interest in the films themselves, or those who are not region B capable, a donation towards the restoration of film classics in general may be something you'd like to consider. I'm sure most here would like to see future Kickstarter style projects to help get unknown or under appreciated classics the recognition they deserve.
