You are correct in your assessment regarding The Criterion Collection as publisher, so it should be listed before the licensor, as per rules. The back cover for each film in their collection confirms it was the publisher of the film's edition: • package copyright author (edition release year) • fine print in black box: "The Criterion Collection is dedicated to gathering the greatest films from around the world and publishing them in editions of the highest technical quality, with supplemental features that enhance the appreciation of the art of film." • corporation logo at bottom of package. On the UK collections I own, I found no mention of distribution on the covers. Had Criterion specified both publishing and distribution, I would list it once as Publisher (higher ranking than distributor). Hope that helped. |
