Second Run are a UK-based DVD company specialising in the release of important and award-winning films from all around the world. Second Run films encompass many genres and languages; what distinguishes them is their quality and their ethos. They are niche-market films which they hope anyone who seriously cares about cinema would want in their collection – but which, crucially, have never before been available anywhere in the world on DVD; and now are, additionally, being presented with newly-translated English subtitles.
Every Second Run release is re-mastered to the best possible sound and picture quality, under the supervision and guidance of the film’s Director whenever possible. Their films always appear only in their original aspect ratio and in their original language version with on/off English subtitles.
For Scalarama, Second Run DVD are offering their films to be booked for screenings at the special discount rate of £60 per title (plus £5 to send a screening disc if you are unable to purchase it yourself.) – apart from new release The Fabulous Baron Munchausen (Karel Zeman) which is £80 + VAT.
