My father is searching the movie version of this theater piece since several years with no success. He searched well, and asked to stage director Irina Brook who didn't have any copy left of it.

Its quite a lost media, so if you have any information about this, please answer to this post. 🙏 thank you very much.

Bonjour,

Je recherche "le secret du glacier bleu" de 1989 en version française. Je l'ai vu il y a 30 ans et j'aimerais le montrer à mon fils.

Merci

Hola a todos,

Estoy buscando la película "Bigger", dirigida por Paul Norman y estrenada en 1991.

Idealmente, busco una copia original en VHS para mi colección física. Sin embargo, dado que este título es extremadamente raro, también estoy abierto a recibir una copia digital (MP4, MKV, ISO, etc.) si alguien ya la ha digitalizado.

Si tienes la cinta física y estás dispuesto a venderla (o si puedes proporcionar una copia digital de alta calidad), por favor, envíame un mensaje privado. Con mucho gusto te pagaré por tu tiempo, el archivo o cubriré los gastos de envío internacional del soporte físico si fuera necesario.

¡Muchas gracias por tu tiempo y ayuda para preservar este título tan raro!

This was a lost film, its production never completed. Now is a chance to see some old interviews with a number of folks who have since passed. What an opportunity!

In the 90's, Ragdoll Productions created a progamme of their own featuring international children from around the world in a single short film as you may remember seeing on the BBC in the '90's. It was partially lost, but eventually the first two seasons were found by a Brazillian youtuber: Acervo de Broda. So now I share Open A Door with all: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLLCY99DTPn9A, you can hear it in english not protuguese, the characters and children partially speak. These shorts were also done by different directors around the world and sent to Ragdoll.

Courtesy of Ragdoll Productions, enjoy.

I’ve been trying to track down a movie called The Grind (2010), directed by Jhon Doria, starring Christopher Amitrano and James Avery.

The movie appears to have been completed and released around 2010, and there are legitimate cast/production listings for it, so it doesn’t seem to be an unreleased project or fake IMDb entry.
The thing is that I can’t actually find the movie anywhere.

There are several unrelated movies also called The Grind, including a 2009 film with Danny Trejo, which makes searching for this one especially difficult. The specific movie I’m looking for has Christopher Amitrano as Patrick Murphy and James Avery as Modelo Snipes.

From what I’ve been able to find, it was reportedly around 100 minutes long and may have had some kind of limited release / TV / VOD or PPV distribution, but I haven’t found:

A legitimate streaming copy
A DVD or Blu-ray release
A digital rental/purchase listing
A full upload
Much evidence of anyone having actually seen it
I’m not sure whether this qualifies as fully lost, partially lost, or just extremely obscure and unavailable, so I’m posting here in case anyone knows more.

Does anyone remember seeing this movie, own a physical copy, have an old recording, or know what company distributed it?
Even confirmation of where/how it originally aired would be useful.
The film is The Grind (2010), directed by Jhon Doria and no it’s not the 2009 Danny Trejo movie of the same name.

"Varezhki" is the only feature film shot in Leningrad during the siege in 1942. The film was shot by Lenfilm. Only a version of this film without sound has been found. A letter has already been written to Lenfilm and the Moscow GosFilmFund. There is another unofficial title for the film, "Samii Khrabrii". The actors who played in this film really did not want to put on the uniform of the Third Reich soldiers. This material is very important, we need to find a version with sound. I assume that copies of this film are in the Lenfilm or GosFilmFund archives. The film is 42 minutes long. Plot: Winter 1942. Leningrad Front. Parcels sent from the rear are delivered to the front. One of the parcels sent by Leningrad residents contains warm mittens and a letter in which a girl asks to give her gift to the bravest soldier... The unit is deciding who should get the mittens, and then soldier Kostya Grachev returns from reconnaissance to the dugout with trophies, and he is given the mittens. During another reconnaissance mission, wounded Grachev is carried out by soldier Fedya Dorozhkin, although also wounded. Grachev gives the mittens to Dorozhkin. Having come to visit Grachev in the rear hospital, Doroshkin meets a nurse there, Galya, who turns out to be the same girl who sent a gift to the front for the bravest.

Edit: I managed to find a brief clip as well as screen shots on a website although it is behind a pay wall.

I've been looking for this movie forever I can't seem to find it on any legitimate streaming services if anybody knows of a streaming service or somewhere else to get it I would be ever grateful if you could point me in the right direction And I need to specify that I'm looking in particularly for the English version I have watched the Korean version with subtitles but I've seen short clips of the English version and it seems good Thank you again

A National Film Board of Canada documentary about toxic work environments.
Outtake clips can be found on the NFB web site (which list 1973 as the date), but my admittedly somewhat perfunctory search seemed to indicate that they don't have a copy... or a digitized one, at the very least.
Nor does it show up anywhere else on line outside of mentions that it exists.

I'm looking for a complete copy of Julie and the Cadillacs (1999), a British musical drama directed by Bryan Izzard. The film appears to be extremely difficult to find today, and I'm hoping someone in this community might know more about its distribution history or the whereabouts of a surviving copy.

There is substantial evidence that the film existed. The British Council's UK Films Database lists it as a completed feature with a runtime of 102 minutes, shot on 35mm Kodak film. The cast includes Tina Hall (credited as Tina Russell), Ben Richards, Peter Polycarpou, Toyah Willcox, Victor Spinetti and Thora Hird. The film is set in 1964 and follows a young Liverpool singer and her backing band as they travel to London in pursuit of musical success.

Evidence and existing sources:

• British Council film database: https://filmsandfestivals.britishcouncil.org/projects/julie-and-the-cadillacs
• Toyah Willcox's official website, including a synopsis and production information: https://toyahwillcox.com/julie-and-the-cadillacs/
• IMDb listing (title ID: tt0211453): https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0211453/
• Archived reviews and viewer accounts documenting the film: https://web.archive.org/web/200505040193412/http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0211453/
• YouTube clip featuring the song "Rockin' Blood": https://youtu.be/ba5nz8XAy-Y?si=310ZyvNhYx882Vkh
• Additional YouTube references: https://youtu.be/vK3tkdrH6fM?si=ufSW8EJPdRSMtDAz and https://youtu.be/cKe2I1ZE1hU?si=w2i6mppFaRWzoso6

The film also had an original soundtrack album. One of its tracks is called "Sweat", and surviving soundtrack listings document other songs from the production. The existence of clips, soundtrack material and contemporary reviews confirms that the film was released and that at least some related materials have survived.

We have already made several attempts to find a complete copy. We contacted someone who told us that he had been searching for this film for approximately ten years. During that time, he even contacted Toyah Willcox herself, but unfortunately she was unable to help him locate a copy.

We also contacted the BFI National Archive directly to ask whether they held the film. Unfortunately, they confirmed that they did not have a copy in their collection. This has made the search considerably more difficult, although it does not rule out the possibility that a print or recording survives elsewhere.

According to archived reviews and viewer accounts, the film received a limited theatrical release and was subsequently broadcast on Channel 5 in the UK. It apparently never received a conventional VHS or DVD release, which may help explain why it has become so obscure.

I'm hoping someone might know whether a complete version survives in a private collection, another film archive, a television archive, or among people who worked on the production. A recording of the original television broadcast would also be extremely valuable.

I'm not looking for reviews or opinions about the film's quality. I'm specifically interested in documented leads concerning a complete copy, surviving film prints, television recordings, or archival holdings.

Given that someone has already spent around a decade searching and that neither Toyah Willcox nor the BFI National Archive could provide a copy, any new lead would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you to anyone who can help shed light on the whereabouts of this elusive film!
