Second Run films encompass many genres and languages; what distinguishes them is their quality and their ethos. They are niche-market films which we hope anyone who seriously cares about cinema would want in their collection - but which, crucially, have never before been available anywhere in the world on DVD; and now are, additionally, being presented with English subtitles.

Each Second Run film is a personal selection by the organisers reflecting significant films which we love and care about, and which they believe should be seen by others for their quality and importance. Every release is re-mastered to the best possible sound and picture quality and, wherever possible, incorporates a range of original extras. The films will always appear in their original aspect ratio and in their original language version with English subtitles only.
