Is rarewaves also your best bet if you're looking/waiting for a BFI sale (Europe in my case)?

I have a bit of a backlog of BFI titles at this point.

Ben Stoddart teased new announcements for tomorrow noon UK time on the BFI's Facebook page with a picture of stacked pots. Jeanne Dielman possibly?

I feel like he's hinted at Akerman in 2025, it's pretty known they're doing an expensive set. I'm curious to see what they're gonna announce tomorrow, especially after Criterion are announcing the same day

For those who are going "who?" at the above, this refers to actor and gourmet cook Vincent Price's six-part 1971 TV series Cooking Price-Wise, which is the fiftieth BFI Flipside entry.

Odd choice for Flipside, but a welcome one. And certainly not something that anybody would have guessed based on the clue.

While looking this up, I learned that podcasts are listed on IMDB for some reason

Cooking Price-Wise is the release of the year for me. My wife and I have owned the book for years, yet the show itself has always been hard to come by. Uncle Vinnie fans rejoice!

BFI shop sale on now until August 29. Too bad I already have these, but there are some pretty great deals, including recent Blu-rays for £8.99.

Chocolat, The Eternal Daughter, two by Skolimowski, Bluebeard’s Castle, Out of the Blue, and others. I’d highly recommend 23 Seconds to Eternity for fans of the KLF.

The recent multi-film Ozu sets also on for £12.99 and £14.99.

I’ll throw in a recommend for their collection of works by animator Phil Mulloy and this excellent book/DVD on the Arts Council of English/BFI’s Antimate’ program

Thanks for the heads up!

But it seems BFI, unlike the other UK labels, don't have their stuff together, customswise, for us EU customers, so I'll probably be looking for sales at third party sellers after all.
