- Kino International is a film and video distributor, founded by Bill Pence in 1977. Donald Krim bought Kino just months after its founding and served as president of the company until his death from cancer in 2011. Kino, based in New York City, specializes in art house films, such as low-budget current films, classic films from earlier periods in the history of cinema, and world cinema. Similar in many respects to the Criterion Collection, releases by Kino are usually restored versions with substantial supplementary material. Kino's theatrical arm handles theatrical distribution of much of the Janus Collection, and has a focus on recent art house and foreign films. Their non-theatrical arm has more of a focus on classic cinema, providing silent film classics which are otherwise difficult to find. They are the largest video distributor of silent films, including a great many from the early days of cinema (before 1914). These include important early landmark films by Thomas Edison, Georges Méliès, the Lumière brothers and D.W. Griffith. Many of those were restored by David Shepard's Film Preservation Associates. Films released by Kino International include: Winnebago Man (2010) Dogtooth (2009) Ajami (2009) Harvard Beats Yale (2008) Ballast (2008) Love Comes Lately (2007) Lady Chatterley (2006) Kippur (2000) Funny Games (1997) The Wonderful, Horrible Life of Leni Riefenstahl (1993) Putney Swope (1969) Andrei Rublev (1966) Les Bonnes Femmes (1960) Munchhausen (1943) M (1931) The Three Penny Opera (1931) Steamboat Bill, Jr. (1928) Metropolis (1927) The General (1926) The Thief of Bagdad (1924)
