This DVD-R collection has been likely mastered from 16mm and/or 8mm reduction print.

The films are likely accompanied by soundtracks compiled from preexisting recordings.

For our comparative reviews of some of the individual films in this collection, see our Her Fractured Voice on home video page.

We wouldn’t recommend this below-average disc but just a few of the films are available nowhere else on home video. Most of the films are available in better-looking editions elsewhere.
