We know Severin is releasing a set devoted to films inspired by the Grand Guignol, it’s possible that it may be a collaboration with Flicker Alley and it could explain why Flicker Alley was unaware of this section of silent film history

They’ve been promising Nanook coming back in print for a while, maybe it will be part of a Flaherty box?

Just found a new copy of Nanook in a store a week ago. My top choice for re-release would be the Duvivier collection with all mistakes corrected.

I saw MOMA's technicolor restoration print a month or two ago (Niles Essanay Theater). The action sequences were certainly impressive, particularly Fairbanks doing his own stunts, but once was enough for me, though I can see why others might want it on disc.

What are the mistakes in the Duvivier set? Is there a link?

I guess it's searchable, but off hand I remember something (audio sync issue?) that was in the original French edition & not corrected by Flicker Alley. I held off buying to see if there'd be a repress/correction, but looks like it just went out of print without much further discussion.
