clash of the titans

release: 18 november 2026
available on 4k uhd / blu-ray

 

Ray Harryhausen, cinema’s most celebrated creator of spectacular special effects, retired at the top of his game by returning to the realm of Greek myth with his final film, the soaring fantasy classic Clash of the Titans!
To win the hand of the Princess Andromeda, Perseus must solve riddles, tame the winged horse Pegasus, battle mighty creatures and outwit the gods themselves. Giant scorpions, two headed hounds, the gorgon Medusa and even the Kraken itself stand in our hero’s way – in besting them, he will become a legend in his own right. Featuring a panoply of screen legends as the gods themselves, including Laurence Olivier, Maggie Smith and Ursula Andress, Clash of the Titans is a fitting climax to a career that inspired the generations of fantasy filmmakers that followed.

wild at heart

release: 23 november 2026
available on 4k uhd 

 

“This whole world is wild at heart and weird on top.” With this torrid adaptation of the novel by Barry Gifford, David Lynch pushed his vision of nightmarish Americana into new realms of delirious excess and feverish romanticism. Burning with libidinal abandon, Laura Dern and Nicolas Cage are Lula and Sailor, outlaw lovers whose reckless passion sends them on the run through a menacing South, where their dream of freedom collides with a vortex of violence and depravity. Blending all-American iconography ranging from Elvis to The Wizard of Oz into a twisted southern-gothic soap opera, and featuring memorable supporting turns by Willem Dafoe and Diane Ladd, the film conjures a dark dreamscape of danger, desire, and fantasy that stands as perhaps the most transcendently perverse love story of the 1990s.

  • Archival & Extras: Blu-ray only music video for Chris Isaak: Wicked Game (directed by David Lynch), deleted scenes and outtakes, Blu-ray only archival documentaries featuring interviews with cinematographer Frederick Elmes, director David Lynch, actors Nicolas Cage, Laura Dern, Willem Dafoe, Diane Ladd, Isabella Rossellini, novelist Barry Gifford, editor Duwayne Dunham, filmmaker Bernardo Bertolucci, and cast and crew members, introduction by film programmer and critic Dennis Lim, readings from Room to Dream (2018 book co-authored by David Lynch and Kristine McKenna), segments from a 1988 episode of Cinéma, de notre temps featuring David Lynch, excerpted interview with David Lynch from Chris Rodley’s book Lynch on Lynch alongside a new introduction by Rodley

wild at heart

The future of gaming is here: SLAYER – a shoot ’em up where players control real people as they fight their way through a war zone. To the death. The cannon fodder comes from death row – promised release if they survive 30 games. The current champ is Kable (Gerard Butler – 300) and he’s nearly there. But Kable knows too much. If he gets out, he could bring down the game, the people who made it and maybe even more. As he plays for the final time, the odds are rising: if he can’t fight his way through, it’s going to be Game Over.

animal farm

release: 23 november 2026
available on 4k uhd / blu-ray

 

A milestone in British cinema, this bold 1954 adaptation of George Orwell’s Animal Farm stands as the nation’s first animated feature film. When the oppressed animals of Manor Farm overthrow Farmer Jones and dream of a fairer world, their revolution soon twists into tyranny, deceit, and the chilling rise of authoritarian rule. 
Created by trailblazing animators John Halas and Joy Batchelor, the film was long celebrated as a triumph of British artistry. Only decades later did the truth emerge: Animal Farm had been secretly part funded by the CIA, its ending reshaped to serve Cold War propaganda. That revelation has become an indelible part of the film’s legacy.  Now newly restored in stunning 4K by the BFI, this landmark work returns with renewed clarity and power — a vital piece of animation history ready to be rediscovered. 

 

  • Video & Presentation: Restored from the original 35mm Successive Frame negative in 4K and presented on UHD in Dolby Vision (HDR10 compatible), newly created English descriptive subtitles
  • Archival & Extras: Vintage audio commentary by writer and broadcaster Brian Sibley, newly recorded audio commentary by animation scholar Sam Summers, Animal Farm line tests (rare surviving animation test footage), Inside the Archive: Halas and Batchelor and Animal Farm (2026 featurette), Clapperboard extracts (1980 television profile featuring John Halas in conversation with Chris Kelly), An Animated Utopia: The Life and Achievement of John Halas (2012 documentary essay by Paul Wells), Ode to Joy (2014 centenary short by Martin Pickles celebrating Joy Batchelor)
  • Packaging & Collectibles: Limited edition rigid-board slipcase, double-sided poster, set of four collectible postcards, 60-page perfect-bound book featuring new essays on Animal Farm

Led by the passionate Danny (Pete Postlethwaite) the band plays on. Danny has his pride and his trombonist son, Phil (Stephen Tompkinson), has his problems.

mother joan of the angels

release: 23 november 2026
available on blu-ray

 

This landmark of Polish cinema is based on the infamous ‘demonic possession’ of a group of nuns in Loudun, France in 1634, which led to a priest being burnt at the stake. These scandalous events also inspired Aldous Huxley’s 1952 novel The Devils of Loudon and Ken Russell’s notorious 1971 film The Devils. The film is a visually astonishing and profoundly disturbing exploration of faith, fanaticism and repressed sexuality. Built around an extraordinary lead performance by Lucyna Winnicka, Kawalerowicz creates one of cinema’s most intense portrayals of the tragedy which ensues when passion is crushed by dogma.

 

  • Archival & Extras: Audio commentary by The Projection Booth; in-depth discussion of the film by critic, curator, and scholar Michał Oleszczyk; expansive filmed appreciation by producer and film historian Michael Brooke
  • Packaging & Collectibles: Collector’s booklet
