CriterionCast | Kino Including Early Kubrick Short Documentary The Seafarers On Their Upcoming Fear And Desire Blu-ray

Come October 23, Kino will be dropping their Blu-ray of Stanley Kubrick’s long talked about and rarely seen debut feature, Fear And Desire, into the laps of various cinephiles around the country, and with that release, comes a supplement that makes it one of 2012’s most important releases.

The distributor just announced that they will be including Kubrick’s 1953 documentary short, The Seafarers, on the Blu-ray, which has been recently preserved by the Museum Of Modern Art, along with assistance from The Film Foundation and The Franco-American Cultural Fund.

The short looks at the Seafarers International Union, and was Kubrick’s first film shot in color. Grinding his teeth as a documentarian early in his career (he originally began as a photographer for print outlets even), the film was last released on DVD in 2008, but this will be the first time it’s available in HD.
