MIXED BLOOD (United States, 1984, Paul Morrisey)

MIXED BLOOD (United States, 1984, Paul Morrisey)

Written and directed by NYC art scene and exploitation cinema luminary Paul Morrissey, MIXED BLOOD is a characteristically grimy descent into urban malaise that is often punctuated by moments of gallows humor. Featuring an eclectic ensemble cast that includes Warhol superstar Geraldine Smith and the screen debut of John Leguizamo, MIXED BLOOD is an essential (if often overlooked) entry into the canon of independent films made on the streets of New York in the 1980s. Gartenberg Media is proud to present the new 4K digital restoration of Morrissey’s indelible crime comedy, produced by Cinématographe from its original camera negative.

AMPHETAMINE (US, 1966, Warren Sonbert and Wendy Appel)

AMPHETAMINE (US, 1966, Warren Sonbert and Wendy Appel)

“Sonbert began making films in 1966, as a student at New York University's film school in New York. In his first films, he uniquely captured the spirit of his generation, and was inspired both by his university milieu and by the denizens of the Warhol art scene. In both provocative and playful fashion, AMPHETAMINE depicts young men shooting amphetamines and making love in the era of sex, drugs and rock and roll.” - Jon Gartenberg
