Moving from the adult movie houses in Times Square in the 1970s through decades of city regulation, chain takeovers, and cultural changes, this documentary portrait of theater operator Nicolas “Nick” Nicolaou takes a charming odyssey through the history of the movie show and New York City. Abel Ferrara traces the life and work of friend and cinephile Nicolaou, a Cypriot immigrant who started working in small cinemas in the Manhattan neighborhood as a teenager, resisted gentrification, changed viewing habits and corporate dominance in the 1980s and it wasn’t until decades later that one of the last independent theater owners in New York City appeared.

Isle of the Dead
A Greek general accompanied by an American journalist exposes a murderous vampire who is chasing after the citizens of a Greek island.
Nosferatu In Venice
What was intended as an unofficial sequel to Werner Herzog’s NOSFERATU has instead turned into one of the most notoriously fascinating productions in the history of EuroCult: Klaus Kinski – now fully in control of the “batsh * t crazy” phase of his career – gives his penultimate performance as Der legendary vampire has risen from the dead in present-day Venice with an insatiable hunger for warm blood and rough sex.
The invisible man appears / The invisible man Vs. The human fly

A scream in the streets
From the notorious producer Harry Novak, whose Box Office International Pictures brought the world classics such as AX, MANTIS IN LACE and WHAM BAM DANKE SPACEMAN, comes the still astonishing sick person about a pair of LAPD detectives who killed a transvestite psychopath by a polyester Jungle chases from perverts in the massage parlor, sex fiends in suburbs, violent cops, and one of the worst examples of cross dressing ever filmed.
Durango loss
For his English-language debut, the writer / director Álex de la Iglesia (DAY OF THE ANIMAL) chose the foreword by writer Barry Gifford to WILD AT HEART with the sociopath priestess Perdita Durango. But when the US distributor saw the finished film, they cut more than 10 minutes of cheerful, profane Sex & Violence and filed it under the title DANCE WITH THE DEVIL.
Lust, caution
In this daring and provocative thriller from director Ang Lee (Brokeback Mountain), a young woman falls into a radical conspiracy to murder a ruthless secret service agent.
Hitcher in the dark
The young and handsome Mark Glazer roams the southeastern United States in his decorated motorhome and picks up single female hitchhikers.
