Looks like I can pencil in #1 on my Best of 2015 list.

I suppose I should, thanks for confirming they look good. How are the English subs (assuming there are Danish intertitles?)?

Anyway, I realise now that the four films that the BFI have will be coming from Palladium rather than the DFI, so it doesn't seem so much like a missed opportunity now.

I wonder if one of those eight will be missing, or if the seven quoted is erroneous.

Not to mention that the film known as "Love One Another" is actually called "Die Gezeichneten" and was a German production, so it needs German intertitles, not Danish ones. It was shown with German intertitles - reconstructed from the censorship cards, as the print used was Russian, IIRC - on arte some years ago. So if the BFI or anyone else want to release it, they should go for that version.

I wonder what's preventing a release of Water from the Land? It's probably safe to assume that the BFI aren't just leaving off one short for the sake of it.

Then, maybe standalones will follow? (As per Arrow's Borowczyk set.)

Possibly, though the recent BFI limited Herzog and Robbe-Grillet blu-ray boxsets have only been followed up with DVD standalones (aside from the also limited Herzog steelbooks) so I'd recommend anyone wanting the films on blu-ray get an order in for the boxset...

But neither of those sets were limited editions. I'm not even sure the Alain Robbe-Grillet set was. Perhaps the sales of last year's sets led the BFI to run smaller pressings this year...

You're inevitably going to see more and more limited editions, for the simple reason that too many people wait too long to pick them up as cheaply as possible, at a time when Blu-rays are seriously underpriced relative to their production cost even at RRP.
