Those are old DVDs. I take the post to mean that Kino is working on a complete (or near complete) works Blu-ray set. She didn't make that many films.

Yes... Just pointing out that since the poster said "the Maya Deren set," and someone asked "what Maya Deren set," and there is no other known set, that set seems like the closest thing, and it's released by a label founded by Pip Chodorov, whom they were asking. So presumably Chodorov is working with Kino to release a new set, and if so, given Chodorov's involvement and Deren's small filmography... it's probably going to be somewhat similar to that set.

Re: Criterion Discussion and Random Speculation Volume 7
OK, but that isn't a set--it's a page for a deal where you can buy three separate Maya Deren releases for a discounted price. In fact, Ritual in Transfigured Time appears twice between the three releases.

OK, but I was just trying to be helpful and answer onedimension's question about qw0aszx's ambiguous phrasing by pointing out the closest available thing to what said ambiguous phrasing was possibly referring to given that the person qw0aszx says he talked to was presumably involved in their release and is not, so far as I know, otherwise involved with Kino on a regular basis.

I don't think anyone needs to jump through so many hoops. A forthcoming Daren set from KL will undoubtedly just be a set containing all her movies. I think the question meant, "When was this announced?"

Re: Criterion Discussion and Random Speculation Volume 7
Here is your Speculation Rodeo
In the Heat of the Night - July newsletter clue + Jewison phantom page
4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days - 2015 New Years clue (anybody remember that? clue = the clock pointing at the time) + cover art seen in background of Apu Trilogy restoration video. Not sure what the hold up was, but here it is.
Mikey and Nicky - Was on Hulu + Filmstruck, otherwise the only surprise this month.
Notorious - June newsletter clue + upgrade of long OOP title
24 Frames - Janus tour, also confirmed by Kiarostami relative
=================================================
250 Upgrades remain. As for that 2015 New Years clue - I have This is Spinal Tap as the only outstanding clue - because of the Stonehenge (tied into the Master Builder clue) - but I'll entertain people's responses who think this wasn't a clue for that film. For the Region B -locked fans, 24 Frames was confirmed also for Criterion's UK line, so I'd expect that to be announced in a week or two.

I do think the Stonehenge was for This Is Spinal Tap, but I think the creators' subsequent lawsuit against Vivendi/StudioCanal may be impacting the release.

Re: Criterion Discussion and Random Speculation Volume 7
4 Months, 3 Weeks, 2 Days finally being released is obviously great and it looks like they kept the same cover-art from the Instagram post from years-back. Correct me if I'm wrong, but this also means it's the oldest IFC title in the collection that had an original run via IFC, besting A Christmas Tale by a year.
So, presumably they could release other IFC titles from that same time period like Three Times, Paranoid Park, and The Flight of the Red Balloon. At the same time, the latter isn't indexed on their website, but the IFC logo of course is still on its poster on IMDB (and I still have those old Film Comments that had IFCs lineup advertised on the back cover). Anyone have any insight on this?

Y Tu Mama Tambien and Following are IFC titles, aren't they? There were also hints that Miranda July is working on a upgrade of You and Me And Everyone We Know on her Twitter as well.

Re: Criterion Discussion and Random Speculation Volume 7
Sure---I can view the complete list of licensors on the home page; I was more referring to a specific strand of (perhaps former) IFC titles that they released theatrically and on home video, which includes the aforementioned Me and You and Everyone We Know, The Wind that Shakes the Barley, Manderlay, Paranoid Park, Three Times, The Flight of the Red Balloon, et al.
But if they aren't on the IFC website and 4 Months is, then I probably have my answer.

But then MGM released Y Tu Mamá También on DVD at the time. Also the first US DVD edition of Following was released through Columbia Tristar (with Zeitgeist Films credited on the back cover)

Re: Criterion Discussion and Random Speculation Volume 7
Is this normal? I just noticed Amazon's page for digitally renting or buying David Lean's The Passionate Friends shows it with a mock Criterion cover, with the "studio" listed as The Criterion Collection. Is Criterion in charge of the digital distribution for a lot of movies for which there is no physical release? Do they always make a digital "cover"? And does it have any bearing on whether a physical release might be on the way?
edit: well, as for how unique this is, one needn't look further than the related products which also show digital Criterion releases for Lean's Madeleine and Compton Bennett's The Seventh Veil. I reckon I have probably just "discovered" a practice already documented and familiar to everyone else?

I think Young and Innocent has had Criterion branding on iTunes etc for years, so don't necessarily anticipate a speedy physical release

Right, plus that's similar to what those (and many other) titles look like on the Criterion Channel on FilmStruck when you get to the play screen. For about three more weeks anyway.

At least some of the Kiarostami restorations appear to have been completed, with 4K restorations of Taste of Cherry and The Wind Will Carry Us (presumably still with Cohen, unless they work out a deal for an extensive box set) and 2K restorations of the Koker Trilogy, The Traveler, and Homework being released on Blu-Ray in Japan in February/March 2019.
