Al-Daradji
Cast: Aseel
Adel, Bashiral-Majid, Mohammed Hashim
Director
Mohamed Al-Daradji literally
risked life and limb to
bring you the only film
about the Iraq War told
from the Iraqi point of
view. A film Variety calls "an
ambitious work that's both
harrowing and beautiful". "Ahlaam" is
the tale of three patients
in a Baghdad mental institution
running through rioting
streets after their hospital
is decimated.
The filmmaker
had a camera in one hand and an AK-47 in the other. His crew
was beaten and lined up to be shot by the insurgents, interrogated
by American Soldiers, his 14 year old boom man was shot in
the leg and someone from the cast was kidnapped. Somehow,
the footage survived and has evolved into a powerful, bone
chilling story of human beings struggling to make sense of
unimaginable circumstances.
"Apocalypse
Now and Deer Hunter are masterpieces that can be watched
time and time again from the safe position of it being historical.
But Iraq is a tragedy still unfolding, potentially set to
be replicated in neighboring countries, It's rare that cinema
is so relevant and vital, [the filmmaker] deserves every
support in getting this film to the widest possible audience" -Netribution.

Noah, the sole remaining survivor on our planet after a nuclear
holocaust, finds himself unable to accept his unique predicament.
To cope with his loneliness, he creates an imaginary companion,
then a companion for his companion and finally an entire civilization
- a world of illusion in which there is no reality but Noah, no
rules but those of the extinct world of his memory - our world.
This once thought “lost” classic is presented for
the first time in the world.
"The Noah" is an amazing,
original and
shattering experience. This one is truly a lost classic.”

A championship wrestling match pits Koji Taguchi against Crush
Volcano, the latter no match for Koji’s signature move,
the Torture Ring Strangler. Koji beams as he clutches the Champion
Belt, only to have it snatched away by a mysterious new challenger
in the ring—a giant squid! A giant squid, in fact, who not
only evades Koji’s key attack, but destroys him with a Northern
Light Suplex! Koji’s fiancée Miyako watches tearfully,
though there’s something about this Calamari Wrestler that
seems familiar to her…
The tentacled tackler is the hottest story in the Japanese sports
press. The president of the Cho-Nippon wrestling team proposes
a fixed match as a publicity stunt, but the honourable Calamari
Wrestler will hear nothing of it. Wrongfully banned from the sport,
he retreats to the Monhonji Temple to train and meditate, where
a young reporter tracks him down and begins to unravel his enigma.
But the squid’s problems are just beginning—treacherous
businessmen, unrequited love and the wrestling-ring menace of
the Octopus Wrestler and the insectoid Squilla Boxer await!

DVD

Director:
Amer Alwan
Cast: Sami Kaftan,
Shadha Salim, Hussein Imad,
Saadiya Al Zaydi
IRAQ'S FIRST FILM IN 15 YEARS!
“Zaman” is a sweet and sad story about love and
devotion, hope and fear. Zaman (Sami Kaftan), and his wife,
Najma (Shatha Salim), have built their happy life together in
their house of reeds and, though childless, adopted a boy, Yacine
(Hussein Imad), orphaned by the 1991 Gulf War. They have lived
a quiet, contented existence until Najma falls ill. The local
doctor tells them she needs surgery or some special medicine
he does not have. And so Zaman sets off in his small boat and
journeys up the Tigris to Baghdad in search of the precious
cure. Thus begins the journey of salvation and discovery for
“Zaman, the Man of the Reeds.”
This is a controversial film – during shooting, the Saddam
regime confiscated five of the filmmakers’ tapes for being
politically incorrect – and it is the first Iraqi film
to enter the world in over 15 years.

MASTER
OF THE FLYING GUILLOTINE |

Director:
Jimmy Wang Yu
Cast: Jimmy
Wang Yu, Kam Kang, Wang Lung Wei
DISCOVERING
MASTER OF THE FLYING GUILLOTINE
Introducing what many consider the Holy Grail of 1970’s
martial arts/Hong Kong films. Master of the Flying Guillotine
(also known as One Armed Boxer vs. The Flying Guillotine)
combines eye-popping visuals, unforgettable characters,
incredible performances, a spectacular electronic soundtrack
and one of the most notorious weapons in film history. The
cult and legend of Master of the Flying Guillotine continues
to grow as martial arts film moves into the mainstream.
Both Quentin Tarentino and Samuel L. Jackson single out "Master"
as one of their favorite films.
---------------------------
Martial Arts
NR / 1975 / 93 minutes / 35mm Scope
Language: Mandarin
Subtitles: English
 
Master of the Flying
Guillotine is a unique and timeless masterpiece, presenting
mythic themes and characters that predate Star Wars, inventive
street fighting that inspired a host of films as well as video
games and gravity defying action 25 years before Crouching
Tiger Hidden Dragon.
For the
past twenty years, Masters was only seen by a limited cult
audience via an English dubbed bootleg video of a damaged,
scratchy print. Some remember seeing the dubbed, edited version
broadcast in the seventies on local "Kung Fu Theatre"
television programs. This is the first time the film will
be given the respect it deserves, a fully restored wide screen
presentation with English subtitles.
 
The film’s
director/star Wang Yu
(Stars as the "One Armed Boxer") is relatively unknown
to American audiences, however many Asian cinema scholars
believe that Wang Yu was more of an influential force in martial
arts cinema than Bruce Lee. The restoration of this classic
is a unique glimpse of Wang Yu in his prime.
(MASTER
OF THE FLYING GUILLOTINE returns and looks better than ever!
Pathfidner Pictures is presenting the film in a brand new
35mm print in its never before seen Chinese language version
with English subtitles. This version also includes 10 additional
minutes not seen in its original release in 1975).
