​It is also thanks to him that ​
​several cff films were repeated ontv in the 90s.Numerous DVDs/boxes with severalfilms per dvd were also releasedin the country of origin Great ​
​Britain. The cff bumber triple ​
​box 4 from the British dvd label"bfi" was recently launched a ​
​second time. At the German ​
​Amazon there was no announcementabout it, the second edition ​
​should actually come.It's worth subscribing to the ​

​only place I've received and ​
​disseminated the news with a ​
​reprint.​
