Flicker Alley

[TechnicolorAcid]

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.

They are expected to announce something big next week

One or more 100 year anniversary releases? Their first UHD?

1926

Faust (Kino)
Flesh And The Devil
For Heaven's Sake
Mother
A Page Of Madness
The Adventures Of Prince Achmed (Milestone)
The Scarlet Letter

They also have The Black Pirate (1926) coming as it's currently playing at the LA Silent film festival

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?

[Lowry_Sam]

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.

You're gonna be real surprised when you find out who identified an audio issue.

I'm gonna be a maverick here and say I don't think these silent films lacking a 5.1 soundtrack should hold anyone back from buying this set. And I definitely don't think it's a problem Filcker Alley would (or should) re-press a multi-disc box set for. Lobster Films doesn't exist anymore—in fact, this was one of their last releases—so they certainly won't be making any fixes.
