    it's from the name of the company that did the restoration, Kino Lorber. Not sure why it was shortened to just Kino, it does make it kind of confusing

      Interesting, kino is used by /tv/ as a mark of approval. Wonder if it came from Kino Lorber.

        I think they both come from the same word, which is just "cinema" in German (and in a ton of other languages which took it as a loan-word, like basically all Slavic ones)
