WALL STREET JOURNAL “A Landmark of Research and Restoration.”

FILM HISTORY “Sometimes film history really is revisionist.”

VARIETY “One of the first great triumphs in the DVD age. It will permanently rewrite the story of American experimental film!”

NATIONAL PUBLIC RADIO, MORNING EDITION "Pat Dowell interviews Jan-Christopher Horak, Lillian Jacobs & Bruce Posner.

NEW REPUBLIC “Magnificent. An astonishing achievement!”

NEW YORK TIMES “This amazing seven-disc set will undoubtedly stand as one of the major monuments of the DVD medium.”

FILM COMMENT “The must-have release of the year…an avant-gardist's wish list.”

MODERNISM/MODERNITY "Unseen Cinema offers nothing less than a fundamental redefinition of American avant-garde film…that should be enthusiastically welcomed by anyone invested in widening the cultural playing field of the modern…the collection's surprising choices and irreverent juxtapositions add up to a kind of modernist Wunderkammer with the sympathetic expansiveness of Whitman's catalogues and the campy curiositas of Guy Maddin."

“Unseen Cinema 7-DVD set…is probably the best seventy bucks I’ve spent in years. I love this thing.”Girish

"I have been obsessed in the last couple of weeks with 'Unseen Cinema,' which is astounding. Thank you a thousand times, and then another thousand."
-Alexander Payne (director of Sideways, About Schmidt)

"Congratulations on the tremendous accomplishment, a real contribution to history and culture. I am looking forward to many hours of enlightment and pleasure."
–Roger L. Mayer
