Gold Ninja Video is a Canadian independent boutique home-video distribution label focusing on restorations and limited run releases on public domain or otherwise neglected films.
History
Gold Ninja Video began as a passion project from filmmaker and podcaster Justin Decloux in 2020, where the primary focus was to release high quality public domain films on Blu-ray discs with additional audio commentary tracks, bonus features, and video essays included.[1][2]
Over time, Gold Ninja Video began releasing special editions of new and unreleased movies thanks to direct cooperation from filmmakers, using the branding of "The Director's Cult."
In 2021, a crowdfunding campaign was started to enable the label to pay for new 2K resolution scans of 16mm and 35mm film prints. Gold Ninja Video raised US$47,097 with a goal of US$15,000.[3][4]
Contributions and Influence
The label came to prominence after releasing a new 2K Blu-ray disc of Taiwanese action fantasy wuxia Thrilling Bloody Sword. The film was restored using the only surviving 35mm reel, and is the only known official home video release.[5][6] After the initial print sold out, Gold Ninja Video is planning a second print by 2022.[7]
Thrilling Bloody Sword's 2K restoration was premiered at the Alamo Drafthouse on January 19, 2021.[8]
