Well most small companies provide PPR on their own films
New Yorker is probably the biggest one missing from the list as they have
their own
films, Sony classics and a number of films from independent companies.
There would also be Zeitgeist, Milestone, Criterion/JANUS ( handling the
actual Criterion Collection very confusing I know) IDP/Goldwyn. I am not
completely clear
If Magnolia, IFC, Palm etc due their own or license to Swank or New Yorker
Basically Swank & Criterion will handle 95% of Hollywood studio films and a
small number of independent & foreign films
As previously noted it can be VERY difficult to track PPR rights on foreign
films in particular.
For the most part companies which purchase home video/dvd rights for foreig=
n
films ( and independent )
Do NOT acquire PPR rights. Kino, New Yorker , Criterion are the exception
but even we don=B9t have PPR on everything
We acquire for DVD release only. For example NONE of the wonderful British
Classics released by Anchor Bay have
PPR and you will have to go to the legal rep in LA or UK to obtain them.
Chaplin films are out on the WB label but
Swank has NO PPR for them. I could go on and on. I can not emphasize too
strongly though how complicated it can
Be to obtain PPR on non Hollywood films. Just because a title is released o=
n
VHS or DVD does NOT mean you will
EVER be able to obtain PPR rights so plan accordingly.
