***ANNOUNCEMENT*** Now available to preorder from the @VinegarSyndrome website and shipping at the end of June on Blu-ray from @ocndistro #PartnerLabel @CIPictures: #TheOtherFrenchNewWave Volume 2 (1967/1969/1964/1964)! Four more trailblazing classics from the dawn of Québec’s cinematic revolution Between Sweet and Salt Water (Entre la mer et l'eau douce) – Leaving his rural hometown for the trials and tribulations of success in the city, young folksinger Claude (Orders star Claude Gauthier) begins a charged romance with waitress Geneviève (Dead Ringers’ Geneviève Bujold). Legendary filmmaker Michel Brault’s celebrated fiction feature debut transposed the intimacy and immediacy of his vérité work and brought new legitimacy to independent cinema in Québec. Where Are You? (Où êtes-vous donc?) – Coming together across an extended road trip to Montréal, Christian, Georges, and Mouffe each forge a unique path in the face of an increasingly consumerist society. Filmmaker Gilles Groulx’s follow-up to The Cat in the Bag is an intoxicating formal kaleidoscope that pushes cinematic language to its limits. Geneviève – Traveling to Québec City for a winter carnival, teenagers Geneviève (Bujold) and Louise (A Woman in Transit's Louise Marleau) experience the joys and disillusionment of a young love affair with Bernard (Bernard Arcand) in Michel Brault’s first collaboration with Bujold. Fabienne (Fabienne sans son jules) – Restless with local celebrity and longing for a lead role in a film, free-spirited chanteuse Fabienne (famed Québécois singer Pauline Julien) relentlessly pursues an offscreen Jean-Luc Godard in this early short from Jacques Godbout (YUL 871). directed by: Michel Brault, Gilles Groulx, Jacques Godbout starring: Claude Gauthier, Geneviève Bujold, Christian Bernard, Georges Dor, Claudine Monfette, Louise Marleau, Pauline Julien 1967, 1969, 1964, 1964 / 237 min (combined) / 1.33:1, 1.37:1 / French DTS-HD MA 2.0 Additional info: Region Free Blu-ray Scanned and restored in 2K from the 35mm interpositives New Between Sweet and Salt Water audio commentary featuring author/professor André Loiselle New interview with former Cinémathèque québécoise director Robert Daudelin on Where Are You? and the films of Gilles Groulx Geneviève Bujold: Art = Life (2018, 5 min.) – A tribute to Michel Brault starring Bujold Theatrical trailers for Between Sweet and Salt Water, Where Are You?, and the three features from The Other New Wave, Vol. 1 Booklet featuring a new essay by author Ralph Elawani and a new interview with Godbout by film programmer Marc Lamothe Reversible cover artwork English subtitles Trailer: youtu.be/dFJq93UMkRE vinegarsyndrome.com/collecti… #BluRay #PhysicalMedia #BluRays #BoutiqueBluRay #CultMovies #DiscConnected #VinegarSyndrome #OCNDistribution #CIP #CanadianInternationalPictures

A tight-nit crew of drug dealers living together on the fringes of society scrambles to adapt when their makeshift “family” is threatened by old jealousies, new paranoias, and the encroaching police. Scanners’ Steven Lack stars in this docu-fiction artifact of 70s Montréal counter-culture, finally fully restored after being out of circulation for decades. Allan Moyle’s THE RUBBER GUN is coming on Blu-ray from @CIPictures. 🔫 Pre-order link in comments 🔫

We’re deeply saddened to learn about the passing of Tony Stella, a hugely talented artist who we were lucky to work with on four of our releases. He was a passionate collaborator, who always exceeded expectations. We send our condolences to his family, friends, and fans.

***ANNOUNCEMENT*** Now available to preorder on Blu-ray in the US from the @VinegarSyndrome website from @ocndistro #PartnerLabel @CIPictures and shipping after their #HalfwayToBlackFriday #Sale later this month: #TheRubberGun (1977)! The kids your mother never let you play with. Charismatic painter Steve (Scanners star Stephen Lack) has carved out a reputation as Montréal’s premiere drug connection, trafficking narcotics with a crew of friends and lovers living as a makeshift “family” on the fringes of society. But tensions rise when the police catch wind of their latest shipment, and Steve strikes up a friendship with a university student eager to observe the group’s illicit lifestyle for his graduate thesis. As the walls start to close in, old jealousies and new paranoias surface, and the family scrambles to adapt or perish. Featuring seven songs by acclaimed Leonard Cohen collaborator Lewis Furey, the directorial debut of Allan Moyle (Times Square, Pump Up the Volume, Empire Records) is an innovative drug drama that set the stage for Drugstore Cowboy and other celebrated portraits of addiction. Equal parts Warhol and Cassavetes, the film’s docu-fiction approach earned widespread praise for its urgency and vivid reality, with The Toronto International Film Festival citing it as “one of the best films of the ’70s.” Out of official circulation for decades, The Rubber Gun returns in a stunning new restoration from the original camera negatives. directed by: Allan Moyle starring: Stephen Lack, Pam Holmes-Robert, Pierre Robert, Peter Brawley, Allan Moyle 1977 / 84 min / 1.37:1 / English DTS-HD MA 2.0 Additional info: Region A Blu-ray Newly scanned and restored in 2K from the original 16mm A/B negatives by Canadian International Pictures with sound transferred from the answer print New interviews with actor and co-writer Stephen Lack New interview with director Allan Moyle New interview with composer Lewis Furey New interview with co-cinematographer Frank Vitale American Cinematheque Q&A – Post-screening discussion featuring Moyle Fantasia International Film Festival intro and Q&A featuring Lack and Vitale Original theatrical outro song Archival stills gallery Theatrical re-release trailer Booklet featuring a new essay by professor Nathan Holmes and an archival profile by P.M.
