The Official Arbelos Films Thread

[Jobla]

All the best to you, Craig.

Have you seen the new book about PRIVATE PROPERTY and Leslie Stevens, published by McFarland? I have to think that your release of the film helped that book come into publication.

Thanks for all of your hard work, Craig.

And special thanks for taking the time to post announcements, comments, and replies here in this thread.

While we wait for news on a Blu-Ray release of Son of the White Mare, it looks like György Kovásznay's Habfürdö might be in Arbelos' future plans.

Now that's outstanding. I did not expect them to include Janos Vitéz as an extra. It's certainly not a cheap release but I'll be putting a pre-order in.

[FrameFecker]

What a terrible shame.
Don’t suppose you’re looking to sell your system? Could do with a back-up.
Best wishes for the future.

When's the next Arbelos sale

[MifuneFan]

A new 4K restoration of Chameleon Street (1989) was done by Arbelos Films, and will be showing at the upcoming New York Film Festival. I assume a BD release is on the way as well.

Chameleon Street
Wendell B. Harris Jr., USA, 1989, 94m

Winner of the Grand Jury Prize at the 1990 Sundance Film Festival, Wendell B. Harris Jr.’s debut feature endures as a brilliant satirical examination of the place of race and class in the performance of American social life. Harris himself stars as William Douglas Street Jr., a real-life con man from Detroit who, disillusioned with working for his father, sets about reinventing himself—and then again, and then again—successfully impersonating a vast succession of journalists, lawyers, athletes, and even surgeons in the process. Harris’s film boldly shape-shifts to match its subject’s own chameleonic transformations, yielding not just a landmark work in American independent cinema but also a singular meditation on the mutability of American identity that’s dense with aesthetic and political ideas. An Arbelos Films release.

Hadn't heard of it before, but sounds interesting and I like Arbelos!

This was the final restoration I did with Arbelos. Very surprised they kept it under wraps for so long. We signed this film years ago.

An absolute, under-seen classic! The DVD is _so_ rough too! Can’t wait!

They posted a slipcover for Béla Tarr’s Damnation in their Instagram story. So a pre-order is hopefully not too far behind.

I really hope they do a vinyl record for this film like they did with SATANTANGO. I love the music in DAMNATION.

It was a pretty slow year for me. But between this and Criterion finally releasing Mirror, it wasn't a bad one.

[MifuneFan]

Don't think I've ever seen a Bela Tarr film but the film looks incredible from the trailer, at least from a visuals standpoint. Perhaps someone should make a thread for the release?
