The Buster Keaton Collection Volume 5: Three Ages and Our Hospitality
(1923) "Three Ages" was Keaton’s first foray into feature film production after a successful string of shorts. This hilariously inventive satire of D.W. Griffith’s "Intolerance" follows the age-old story of misadventures on the road to finding love, retold in three separate eras, a structure that cleverly allowed Keaton to recut the film into three separate shorts if it failed as a feature. For this restoration, five elements were compared, with a second-generation duplicate negative being used for the majority. "Our Hospitality" is perhaps Keaton’s most nuanced comedy and again finds Buster recreating a bygone era. In it, he plays a 19th-century New Yorker who returns to the antebellum South to claim his inheritance, but finds himself also inheriting a longstanding multi-generational feud between his family and that of the woman he loves (played by Buster’s real-life spouse, Natalie Talmadge). For this restoration, a total of 17 film elements were compared, with a first-generation nitrate positive held at the Library of Congress being the main element used. Formats: Blu-ray. (Cohen Film Collection).

Jackie Chan: Emergence of a Superstar
Four-disc Blu-ray set with six films. Originally tapped as a potential successor to Bruce Lee, Hong Kong martial-arts phenom Jackie Chan soon established his own unique screen persona, blending goofball slapstick and bone-crunching kung fu into intricate feats of supercharged athleticism. Tracing his rise from breakout star to full-fledged auteur, these six unabashedly silly, unstoppably entertaining early-career highlights find Chan refining the lovably mischievous image that would make him a global icon, while also assuming greater creative control over his projects -- first as his own martial-arts choreographer, and later as a writer-director who set a thrilling new standard for daredevil action comedy. 2K digital restorations of "Spiritual Kung Fu" (1978), "The Fearless Hyena" (1979), "Fearless Hyena II" (1983), "The Young Master" (1980), and "My Lucky Stars" (1985), and high-definition digital restoration of "Half a Loaf of Kung Fu" (1968), with uncompressed monaural soundtracks. Alternate stereo and 5.1 surround Cantonese soundtracks. Formats: Blu-ray. Extras: Read more here. (The Criterion Collection).
There Goes the Neighborhood
(2022) Gentrification is not a new phenomenon. In fact, New Yorkers have been talking about gentrification ever since the term was first coined in the 1960s. But over the decades, as more and more wealthy real estate developers and giant corporations have sought to reconstruct urban landscapes for economic gain, what was once a process of gradual change has turned into a nightmare of radical transformation and displacement. New York City is currently undergoing a period of hyper-gentrification unlike anywhere else in the world. This documentary presents a portrait of the communities and activists who are courageously fighting back against the powers of greed and corruption in order to preserve the diversity and culture of their city.
