»This fall, celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of Janus Films, the legendary distributor in the United States of foreign and classic films. Janus Films opened American viewers' eyes to the pleasures of Ingmar Bergman, Federico Fellini, and François Truffaut at the height of their artistic powers. Founded in 1956 the Janus collection continues to offer the greatest of international cinema to the American public, from the art-house canon to the undiscovered gems, from Kurosawa to Louis Malle to Gus Van Sant.

Coming in October: Essential Art House: 50 Years of Janus Films, an expansive collectors’ box set featuring fifty classic films on DVD and a lavishly illustrated hardcover book that tells the story of Janus Films through an essay by film historian Peter Cowie, a tribute from Martin Scorsese, and extensive notes on all fifty films, plus cast and credit listings and U.S. premiere information.«
