The Film Foundation Comes to the Criterion Channel

The Film Foundation, launched by Martin Scorsese in 1990, is dedicated to the restoration of acknowledged classics and great rarities alike. An ongoing series of its offerings on the Criterion Channel begins, this month, with thirty movies, including Ida Lupino’s film noir “The Bigamist,” Shirley Clarke’s jazz-centric metafiction “The Connection,” Med Hondo’s drama “Soleil Ô,” about race relations in France, and Lino Brocka’s political melodrama “Insiang” (pictured above), set in a slum neighborhood in Manila.
