Hi everyone,
I'm working with a professor here on a film series, and I've done pretty well
but there are 2 films I'm having trouble finding rightsholder/PPR info for:
M (Lang)
Pandora's Box (Pabst)
Both were released by Criterion but Janus doesn't hold the rights. Any clues
out there?
Thank
Yes and yes. In our case, the film was not in high demand, and we never did

I will give Janus a pass as they are grea
Jessica,
Please stop commenting on Kino Lorber's collection and our rights. Many titles

rights.
If you know of any instance where I have given incorrect information
Jessica,
First, I would like to apologize for my terse reply to you. Most of the time
you are a very reliable source for rights and distributors and your memory is
amazing. That said, over the last five years at Kino Lorber, we have revised
our basic agreement with licensors/filmmakers, expande
