Containing several hundreds of rare and classic movies spanning from the silent film era to the present day, it was previously referred to as the Rohauer Library prior to Cohen Media Group's ownership in 2011.
[10][11] The library was estimated to have 700 feature and short films in the catalogue at the time of the acquisition.
[5][10] During the Douris Corporation's ownership, films from the Rohauer Library were distributed by Kino for home videos.
[12] In 2008, The Douris Corporation went into receivership and sought licensing deals and liquidation of the library.
Initially distributed by Entertainment One,[13] The Rohauer Library has since been renamed the Cohen Film Collection and continues to add various films from filmmakers, such as Ken Loach, Claude Chabrol, and Patrice Chéreau, to its catalogue.
