Though a small handful of Silicon Valley companies have forever altered the course of home video thanks to streaming, where they have near-full control over the product, there are still boutique indie labels making sure cinema is lovingly restored for collectors the world over. Learn about some of the eminent companies fighting the good fight for physical media in this triumphant call to action.
BOUTIQUE: TO PRESERVE AND COLLECT chronicles the recent burgeoning Blu-ray collectible renaissance and the rising number of specialty distribution labels worldwide, creating an increased demand for long-lost cinema obscurities to classic cinematic landmarks. In addition, these companies endeavor to rescue and restore films, bringing underappreciated artists back to the forefront and overlooked and forgotten works to the masses. Featuring interviews with the filmmakers and actors—alongside the company representatives lovingly rescuing, restoring, and releasing the work—plus those historians who gloriously provide commentary tracks and extras packaged with the releases, as well as fans, collectors, and industry experts, BOUTIQUE: TO PRESERVE AND COLLECT is a joyous documentary love letter to cinephilia.
