The Criterion Collection
The Criterion Collection (or simply Criterion) is an American video-distribution company which specializes in licensing "important classic and contemporary films" and selling them to film aficionados.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Criterion Mission Statement )〕 Criterion is noted for helping to standardize the letterbox format for widescreen films, bonus features, and special editions for home video.
==History==
The Criterion Collection company was founded in 1984 by Robert Stein, Aleen Stein, and Joe Medjuck, who later were joined by Roger Smith. In 1985, the Steins, William Becker, and Jonathan B. Turell founded the Voyager Company, to publish educational multimedia CD-ROMs (1989–2000),〔 during which time The Criterion Collection became a subordinate division of the Voyager Company. In March 1994, Verlagsgruppe Georg von Holtzbrinck GmbH bought 20 percent of Voyager for US$ 6.7 million; the 4 founders each retained a 20 percent owner’s share.〔
In 1997, the Voyager Company was dissolved (Aleen Stein founded the Organa LLC CD-ROM publishing company), and Holtzbrinck Publishers sold the “Voyager” brand name, 42 CD-ROM titles, the Voyager web site, and associated assets, to Learn Technologies Interactive, LLC (LTI).〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.organa.com/aleen.html )〕 Robert Stein sold 42 Voyager titles to LTI from his Voyager–Criterion company share. The remaining 3 partners, Aleen Stein, William Becker (President) and Jonathan Turell (CEO) owned The Criterion Collection company,〔 which has a business partnership with Janus Films, and had one with Home Vision Entertainment (HVE) until 2005, when Image Entertainment bought HVE. On November 4th, 2013, it was announced that Sony Pictures Home Entertainment will now handle distribution.〔http://www.homemediamagazine.com/sony-pictures/sony-inks-distribution-admin-deal-criterion-31792〕
