Background
What was now High-Quality Film & Video S.R.L. began operations as Hardcore Distribuidora S.R.L. to distribute porn titles in cinemas for the Argentinian market, it was soon expanded to home video as Hardcore Video in 1986, in order to distribute adult and horror titles, then it was abandoned and it was focused more on porn titles. On August 24, 1989, Hardcore Video became High Quality Film & Video, and decided to expand into more erotic material, and the company quietly shut down in the early 1990s.
