In a faraway future, on a wild and untamed female inhabited planet called After Blue, a lonely teenager named Roxy (Paula Luna) unknowingly releases a mystical, dangerous, and sensual assassin from her prison. Roxy and her mother Zora (Elina Löwensohn) are held accountable, banished from their community, and forced to track down the murderer named Kate Bush. Haunted by the spirits of her murdered friends, Roxy sets out on a long and strange journey across the supranatural territories of this filthy paradise. The newest vision from Bertand Mandico (The Wild Boys) plays like a lesbian El Topo (in space!) with stunning 35mm in-camera practical effects, otherworldly set pieces, and a dazzling score by Pierre Desprats.

Description

Aging starlets fight over a gross piece of flesh that inspires sexual devotion, a woman finds inspiration in the animation of dead animals, a certain Walerian Borowczyk makes his way through a cruel life, and a transgressive director keeps searching for films that will make her spectators’ hearts turn in their thoracic cages (like a steak on a grill!). From the visionary director of The Wild Boys and After Blue (Dirty Paradise) comes a collection of 3+ hours of short works that will ensnare your senses and leave you desperate for more of the wonderful and weird world of Bertrand Mandico.

Let the Corpses Tan is a deliriously thrilling homage to Spaghetti Westerns and 1970s Italian crime films. Belgian filmmakers Hélène Cattet and Bruno Forzani trade in the crushed velvet and creeping shadows of their giallo-worshipping first two films (Amer, The Strange Color of Your Body's Tears) for blistering sun, creaking leathre and raining bullets. After stealing a truckload of gold bars, a gang of thieves absconds to the ruins of a remote village perched on the cliffs of the Mediterranean. Home to a reclusive yet hypersexual artist and her motley crew of family and admirers, it seems like a perfect hideout. But when two cops roll up on motorcycles to investigate, the hamlet erupts into a hallucinatory battlefield as both sides engage in an all-day, all-night firefight rife with double-crosses and dripping with blood. Based on a classic pulp novel by Jean-Patrick Manchette and Jean-Pierre Bastid and featuring vintage music cues by Ennio Morricone, Let the Corpses Tan is a deliriously stylish cinematic fever dream that will fire up your senses like buckshot to the brain. Special Features: Audio commentary by film critic Alexandra Heller-Nicholas and Queensland Film Festival Director John Edmond | Trailer

Arbelos Films presents NADJA - Director Michael Almereyda and Executive Producer David Lynch conjure a rare vampire film. "Hurry, the dead travel fast…" Following their father's death at the hands of Dr. Van Helsing (Peter Fonda), New York-based vampire Nadja (Elina Löwensohn) and her devoted companion Renfield (Karl Geary) are drawn close to her estranged and ailing twin brother Edgar (Jared Harris). As Van Helsing pursues this "fiend" from Manhattan to Transylvania, his nephew Jim (Martin Donovan), Jim's wife Lucy (Galaxy Craze), and Edgar's private nurse Cassandra (Suzy Amis) are all drawn into an escalating battle between bloodlines. Merging elements from Lambert Hillyer's DRACULA'S DAUGHTER (1936) with André Breton's landmark surrealist novel Nadja (1928), writer-director Michael Almereyda conjures a rare vampire film steeped in many genres, yet beholden to none. Executive produced by David Lynch, NADJA fuses shimmering black-and-white 35mm with hallucinatory Pixelvision video, creating one of the most inspired visions to emerge from the 90s independent cinema movement.
