We currently don’t have the film available on a Disc, but we are currently looking at distribution deals. It is available digitally over on Amazon Prime Video in the meantime. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/video/detail/B071HLVYHK
My name is Lucile and I am contacting you from the multi award-winning production company Lightbox, about a landmark theatrical feature documentary on Diana, the Princess of Wales which will be released in cinemas in the summer of 2022 before it is launched on television and streaming services around the world. This is the first cinema release documentary ever to be made on this subject and it will take a unique formal approach in that it will be made exclusively from archive footage and photographs. There will be no original interviews and no commentary. The ambition of the film is simply to tell Diana’s story and the impact she made on Britain and the world through contemporaneous material, as if it were unfolding in the present.
We are currently engaged in extensive research for the film – and I am reaching out to various film clubs up and down the country to try and find out if any members might have footage of Diana – possibly having attended the wedding celebrations in 1981 or the funeral in 1997. I wondered if there might be a possibility of doing a call out to your members?
To give you a bit of background about the team behind this project. The film is produced by the double Academy Award winner Simon Chinn. Simon has a long track record of producing multi award-winning documentaries for the cinema: films such as oscar-winning Man on Wire and Searching for Sugar Man; and Lightbox has gone on to produce many more award-winning documentaries. The film is directed by Ed Perkins, also an Academy Award nominee for his film Black Sheep.
Our intention is to make an insightful, intelligent and thoughtful film that will pay tribute to Diana’s life, as well as the world which shaped it and which she helped to shape. This is not an investigative piece. We have no explosive revelations to offer and we will approach this story, as we do with all the films we undertake, with the sensitivity, compassion and respect that it deserves.
Thank you so much for taking the time to read this email and hope to hear from you soon.

Hello
Is it possible for me to purchase a copy of ‘Addict’ on a disc?
I don’t need artwork or a case.
Thanks for your help,
Allan

Hi there! I’m in search of your very first film, Alien 3. I was hoping it was archived somewhere. If not that’s fine, thank you for your time!
Hi Michele, it is on YouTube somewhere. Enjoy the hunt.
