Dear Sascha,

Maybe you mean Japanese films on video or laserdisc. in general art films 
have difficulties in distribution on video. The market is too small. And 
there internationnal legal problems, mostly due to different copyright 
regulations. 'My secret cache' is now in distribution in Germany on film. 
In the march issue of epdfilm is a review of this film.
