The Masters of Cinema Series

London, England

Founded in 2004, The Masters of Cinema Series is an

independent, carefully curated, UK-based Blu-ray and

DVD label consisting of over 150 films From established

cornerstones such as Murnau’s SunriSe, Mizoguchi’s

uGeTSu MOnOGATAri, Lang’s MeTrOPOLiS, Welles’ TOuCH OF

eViL, and Antonioni’s LA nOTTe – to revelatory rediscoveries

such as Epstein’s Cœur FidèLe, Watkins’ edVArd MunCH,

and McCarey’s MAKe WAY FOr TOMOrrOW – we believe all

are equally deserving of a larger audience

THE DISCS.Films are presented in their original aspect

ratio (OAR), in meticulous transfers created from recent

restorations and / or the most pristine film elements

available to us The feature presentations are frequently

supplemented by short films, documentaries,

commentary tracks, deleted scenes, trailers, plus new

and vintage interview footage In November 2008, we

were one of the first labels to push more unusual titles

onto Blu-ray, and this format is now our main focus

substantial booklet or book Alongside rare imagery are

newly commissioned essays and / or classic writings

that take the reader further into the process of the films

and the personalities of the filmmakers

OUR TEAM.

Blu-ray 2011 Blu-ray Q1 2012

Why ?

The above three factors result in Blu-ray

being the most immersive and faithful

representation of “the cinema experience”

currently available in the home today

(outside of a costly 35mm projector).

Unfortunately, the industry has poorly

explained and demonstrated the technology,

sowing confusion and giving the impression

that Blu-ray is not enough of a worthwhile

upgrade from DVD.

When compared with an actual 35mm frame, the DVD format – now well into its second decade as the world’s favourite film-holding receptacle – is akin to a Polaroid of an oil painting Watchable, but capable of being far surpassed.

Blu-ray is the first home format to adequately represent the depth and texture of celluloid – and we find it entrancing

The quest for resolution

The ongoing technology race has been about maximising resolution and minimising compression – whilst remaining affordable

35mm film is widely regarded as being entirely captured by a 4k film scan (see opposite) As soon as uncompressed 4k masters are available for home screening, this race will noticeably plateau, because the majority of films in the world have been shot on 35mm and nothing better than 4k would be required (ignoring all the futuristic 5k–12k+, 3D, and holographic shenanigans).

Until a few years ago, most films were telecined (that is, transferred from their native celluloid state to a video format) in SD to

be displayed on SD TV or released on NTSC

or PAL DVD (also SD) When HD arrived, these telecines had to be replaced by much higher resolution scans (2k or 4k) The scale diagrams opposite give the clearest sense of the relationships between all these formats, and the quest to attain optimal resolution.

1.) Five times more image resolution than standard definition DVD + bitrates

much higher than commonly offered downloadable content = an image

far closer to the quality and texture of 35mm in the cinema.

2.) Audio is uncompressed, rich, and dynamic (lossless 192kHz / 24bit).

3.) 24 frames per second progressive imagery, like most 35mm films.

No PAL speedup to 25fps, interlacing, or NTSC video frame rates.
