The Cinema Guild launched its own home video brand in March 2009. The company released its first Blu-ray, Marwencol, in 2011.

Internationally acclaimed filmmakers who have released films through The Cinema Guild include Claire Denis, Jacques Rivette, Agnès Varda, Pedro Costa, Béla Tarr, Hong Sang-soo, Alexander Sokurov, and Nuri Bilge Ceylan.
