Films where Grapevine's release is the pick. How picks are made

Run from Phoenix by Jack and Jason Hardy, Grapevine sold rare silent and early sound films from the VHS era onward, later on DVD and, from about 2017, a small line of Blu-rays. Transfers varied in quality and usually came with new organ, synth or compiled scores. Retail sales ended on 6 September 2023 when Jack Hardy retired.

Factory Silent Film Festival as "US viewers have had to be satisfied with either the alternate version that was released in the United States in 1931, or hybrids that supplement the US version with additional footage"
