Kino International

Kino International was founded in 1977 as a theatrical distribution company specializing in classics and foreign language art films. Today Kino now boasts one of the most important film and video libraries of classic and contemporary world cinema titles -- and has been honored by numerous critical accolades, including the prestigious Heritage Award from the National Society of Film Critics for its work in film preservation.

In its coverage of a 2006 retrospective of Kino's back catalog, The New York Times wrote:

“Movies without Kino International would be like parks without trees or museums without paintings. Founded in 1977 and as relevant as ever, this irreplaceable distribution company keeps one eye on the past, maintaining a rich catalogue of cinema touchstones, and one on the future, acquiring and releasing the classics of tomorrow.”
