BritFilms.TV is, we are assured (and who the hell are we to argue?), the most UK's most visited independent web site devoted to film and DVD. In what is being described as a logical development to their business, they're putting their money where their love for film is and have acquired four films for UK DVD distribution in October.

Black Sheep / Schwarze Schafe (Germany 2006)
From the wild side of New Berlin, comes a tale of sex, drugs and unemployment. Black Sheep is a rock 'n' roll no holds barred trip through the urban Berlin lifestyle, this unique film follows the fortunes of a group of deadbeats and their rather bizarre and ludicrous plans to earn big money with little effort. Satanists, prostitutes, artists and thieves all make an appearance in this stylish comedy that the according to the Times is '...an anarchic multi stranded odyssey that gives Clerks 2 a run for its money on the sexual deviancy front'. Black Sheep was directed by Oliver Rihs and stars Jule Böwe, Milan Peschel and Jenny Deimling.

Praise (Australia 1998)
A story of love, never ending sex and Scrabble. Based on the semi-autobiographical story from Andrew McGahan, the film follows the irregular relationship between chain-smoking asthmatic Gordon (Peter Fenton) and insecure eczema victim Cynthia, as they both help one another through the grim situations that they've each wandered into. Through emotional storytelling, this pathetic duo is seen in a whole new light, connecting with one another amidst the drugs, drink and triple word scores. Winner of two AFI Awards (Best
Screenplay and Best Actress in a Leading Role for Sacha Horler, Praise is a unique and engrossing drama that was described by Scott Tobias of the Onion AV Club as "A bleak and mordantly funny account of dependency and addiction." It's directed by John Curran and stars Peter Fenton, Sacha Horler and Marta Dusseldorp.

Storm Boy (Australia 1977)
Described by Variety as 'a gem of a film', Storm Boy is an adaptation of Colin Thiele's classic story and has become an iconic piece of Australian cinema and a much loved family film. Storm Boy (Greg Rowe) spends his time wandering alone along the fierce but beautiful deserted coastline of South Australia's Coorong. He lives the life of a recluse with his father (Peter Cummins), who is known amongst the locals as 'Hideaway Tom'. After a pelican mother is shot by hunters, Storm Boy rescues three chicks and cares for them; he gives them the names Mr Proud, Mr Ponder and Mr Percival. Storm boy's father forces him to release the birds, but Mr Percival returns. The story then focuses on the conflict between Storm Boy's lifestyle, his friendship with Fingerbone Bill (David Gulpilil), the state's requirement for him to attend school and of course, the fate of Mr. Percival. Winner of best film at the 1977 Australian Film Institute awards and thought by many as the Australian Kes, Storm Boy is a heart warming journey through childhood that has finally found its way on to DVD in the UK.
