alas these are doozies. KISS has a complicated history. Last I heard the producer wanted some kind of weird deal selling all rights for millions as A PIECE OF ART but I never heard what happened. You could probably track down rights holder but they seemed difficult.
The others appear not to have any current US rights distributor. Since there are DVD copies available for import ( though hard to tell if Dona Barbara is a legal one) you could track down the rights holders but it might take a lot of work. A general reminder that only a TINY percentage ( best guess 1 percent or less) of films made outside the US have current US distribution, even the ones that did in fact have some play in the US. Doesn't mean no one owns them it means for any number of reasons but usually there was just not enough money in it, that they could not or would not make a US distribution deal. Good luck.

VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control, preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and related institutions. It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and distributors.
