Martin Scorsese’s World Cinema Project No. 6 (Criterion Collection) [Preorder]

Preorder scheduled for release on January 19, 2027

Established by Martin Scorsese in 2007, The Film Foundation’s World Cinema Project has maintained a fierce commitment to preserving and presenting masterpieces from around the globe, with a growing roster of more than seventy restorations of works by essential filmmakers. This collector’s set gathers four arresting and stylistically distinctive films, ranging from the politically charged to the mythical and dreamlike, from Guinea-Bissau (Mortu nega), Brazil (São Paulo, Incorporated), Côte d’Ivoire (The Woman with the Knife), and Iran (The Stranger and the Fog). Each title is a significant contribution to the art form and a window onto a cinematic tradition that international audiences previously had limited opportunities to experience.
