Blaq Out is a video publishing company created in 2002 and dedicated to arthouse films on DVD.

To make up for the low profile of arthouse films in cinemas, given the pressure from blockbusters and the increasing number of releases, the need for new outlets to give different works a second life, or even to make a lasting contribution to our film heritage, has become obvious and urgent. One of these outlets is video publishing.

Recent years have seen the advent of DVD, a digital medium that offers a quality of sound and image impossible with videocassettes. DVDs also offer user-friendly interactivity and special features that are destined to become original programs in their own right -as video modules, Roms or other. In short, thousands of artistic possibilities are available to shed light on or reinforce appreciation of a film.

Blaq Out is committed to giving arthouse films, whether French or foreign, classic or contemporary, the second...

...life, or even the first life they deserve, on a quality medium with enriched content.
Blaq Out 's vocation is suddenly and deliberately plunging its public into darkness to discover, rediscover or show others arthouse films in the movie theater conditions so important to film aficionados.

And because sadly, it is becoming harder and harder to find arthouse films on DVD because of the same pressure from more commercial products in stores, at the start of 2005, Blaq Out opened a store devoted to arthouse films: Blaq Out la boutique. These are rare and/or specialized films or classics. There are over 2,000 titles acquired from the best video labels worldwide and including a selection of documentaries, animated features, art DVDs, music videos etc. Generally speaking, la boutique is open indeed to and on the lookout for all kinds of programs considered to be of quality.

With our twin activity of editor and "exhibitor", we hope to share with you our passion for films through the constant recreation at home of the cinematic and artistic experience as you knew it or wish to discover it. We thank you in advance for your support in this battle for the existence of a different, diverse and necessary approach to filmmaking: to that matter, do not hesitate to tell your friends about our store and our films.
