I think these are only available from canadian etailers and blockbuster as rentals, my local one had every spine so far, quite impressive. anyone heard of the films or directors included so far?

I rented two of them (Antares and Spare Parts) and will post my thoughts tomorrow morning.

Cool idea, but the marketing of the line seems destined to fail. People who would be interested in these titles don't tend to go to Blockbuster to find festival films.

Of what i know,Festival Collection picked 20 titles from Film Movement (a world film movie club.USA only). Festival Collection DVDs are available for rental ONLY at canadian Block Busters outlets. But some of Film Movement DVDs are available for sale to general public at amazon. Check out their site, www.filmmovement.com
Interesting movies out there. Aaltra is a killer!!!
