About Us
Corinth Films was founded in 1977 and was initially set up to distribute foreign and classic films in the United States to select art theatres and college and university film societies. 35mm and 16mm prints were used to service the exhibition needs of these early customers. Videocassettes did not exist during Corinth's early years. Technology has made film distribution different today with a wafer thin DVD replacing the old cumbersome 16mm prints of the past. But one thing hasn't changed, the need to acquire original film elements to assure the best quality transfers to whatever technology offers as the format of choice for distribution. Corinth works closely with producers and owners of these original elements to assure that the latest in technology will be best served by the most original film elements available. This is the essence of the film collections Corinth represents.
We have now expanded into the realm of online DVD retail sales. Through our website, old and new customers can get these cinema gems right from the source at www.corinthfilms.com!
