The Eye distribution collection includes more than 2,000 titles and is still growing. New acquisitions mainly consist of digitally restored classics and experimental productions.
Examples include films by David Lynch and Jacques Tati, rediscovered early masterpieces, or films by experimental new filmmakers that feature surprising subject matter or techniques. The acquisitions made from 2012 onwards are only available in the DCP (Digital Cinema Package) format.

still Wanda (Barbara Loden, US 1970)
Wanda
Once a seldom-screened cult film, now a classic of feminist cinema. Wanda, by actor and filmmaker Barbara Loden, who died young, poignantly illuminates the fate of a drifting divorced mother – phenomenally played by Loden herself, who also wrote the screenplay and directs.
