Eureka Entertainment's UK series for classic and art-house cinema grew out of a director-focused website launched in 2001, issued its first DVDs in 2004 and moved to Blu-ray in 2008. Releases carry spine numbers and usually a booklet, with commentaries, interviews and essays from critics and scholars. The catalogue runs from silent films and Japanese classics to Hollywood studio titles and recent art-house work.
