OK I can now report it IS coming out in I suspect blu ray and DVD sometime in 2014, I suspect by the summer. I had lunch with a friend from Olive Films and they will be releasing. They have put out a lot of great stuff FYI, a mix of wonderful foreign films and sub licensing studio titles that are too "small" for the studios to release. The 1938 J"Accuse was owned by Gaumont with whom they work.
Eventually they will be releasing what I think it one the most important LONG ( 25 years?) unvailable in ANY format titles: Billy Wilder's FEDORA ( a uneven but fascinating film. Also one more heads up they will also be releasing the also long unavailable COME BACK TO FIVE AND DIME, JIMMY DEAN, JIMMY DEAN by Altman. For rights reasons it will be a LIMITED edition and once they sell out of the first run (DVD and blu ray), it will go out of print. You have been warned. On Mon, Sep 30, 2013 at 12:03 PM, Sarah E.

VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control, preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and related institutions. It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and distributors.
