Hi Mary Lou,
I actually just finished watching this series at BAM Cinemas in
Brooklyn. Music Box has picked up the rights to distribute the film in
the USA but have been MUM on a DVD release educational or otherwise.
You should check in with them:

I am appealing to the collective wisdom of the list.
Does anyone know if “The Story of Film: an Odyssey” by Mark Cousins
has been made available for sale in this country? This history of
film was serialized on Channel 4 in the UK and dvds (region 2) were
released in England in April of this year. There is also a
companion book of the same title released in the UK in 2004 and made
available in this country in 2011. The film was written up in the
NYT –See this linkhttp://www.nytimes.com/2012/02/01/movies/the-story-of-film-an-odyssey-by-mark-cousins-at-moma.html
I have checked OCLC to find that only region 2 dvds have been
released in the UK. Faculty are asking if we can purchase the
film. Does anyone have any information on a potential release here?
Any help would be much appreciated!
