DEMIGOD: THE LEGEND BEGINS (2022) - More budaixi glove puppet wuxia martial arts insanity. You read that correctly. HAYOP KA! (2020) - Inspired by the beloved telenovela melodramas. Nimfa is a perfume saleswoman kitty in Manila, who receives a prediction from a fortune teller that she’ll fall in love with two men (er, dogs) simultaneously. SCARLET SAILS (1961) - Aleksandr Ptushko. 'Nuff said. ROY FROM SPACE (1983) - Mexico's third animated feature, lost for over 40 years, now receiving a new restoration from the recently discovered original negative. FRANKENSTEIN, LEGEND OF TERROR (1981) - Toei Animation's adaptation of the 1970s Marvel Comics. Adult, R-Rated and now restored in 4K from the original camera negative. SODA POP JOE (1964) - Better known in the US as LEMONADE JOE, is a delightful, musical, barbed satire of Western capitalism and consumerism. THE MAN WHO THOUGHT LIFE (1969) - A rare, overlooked gem of late 1960s Sci-Fi. The film opens on a respected doctor, Max Holst who is brought in to examine an enigmatic, arrogant man, Steinmetz. Steinmetz can miraculously make objects materialize by focusing his mind. When he attempts to blackmail Dr. Holst into performing surgery to expand this sinister brainpower, Holst refuses – and Steinmetz calls to “life” a mirror image that sets out to destroy the doctor’s willpower. MURDERS AMONG US: ANTI-FASCIST FILMS OF DEFA STUDIOS (1946-1963) - “The past is a foreign country; they do things differently there,” wrote English novelist L.P. Hartley in 1953. And yet, perhaps not so differently. Fascism and right-wing ideologies are on the rise worldwide, including here in America. It’s a good time to take a look at a remarkable group of films made by East Germany’s DEFA Studios in the post-WWII period which addressed the rise and rot of fascism in Germany since 1933. The set will contain numerous essays (written and visual) putting the films in context for the time they were made as well as their importance and relevance today. TREASURES OF SOVIET ANIMATION VOL. 4: THE ADVENTURES OF MOWGLI (1967-1971) - The 4th installment in our ongoing series of newly restored Soviet animated gems from Soyuzmultfilm features one of the most visually stunning animated films ever made in Russia (or anywhere). Director Roman Davydov’s utterly glorious adaptation of Rudyard Kipling’s The Jungle Book was originally released as 5 separate short films between 1967 – 1971 and then combined into a single feature, and frankly puts the better-known Disney version to shame. PASSAGE (1997) - An incredible rediscovery from Czech / Slovak master filmmaker Juraj Herz (THE CREMATOR, MORGIANA, THE BEAUTY & THE BEAST), PASSAGE is one of the most obscure and rarely-seen works in his filmography – until now. Comparisons abound, to Scorsese’s AFTER HOURS, Terry Gilliam’s BRAZIL, Shakhnazarov’s ZEROGRAD – all labyrinthine narratives about worlds that follow their own twisted, impenetrable logic – but PASSAGE stands on its own as one of Herz’s finest undiscovered gems, the film as strangely lost as Forman himself.
