Easy Tiger

FILM SKOOL


An unexpected moment in a session with a client forces a psychologist to confront his own inner desires. Alienated by the isolation of his seemingly perfect city life, the powerful same-sex attraction compels him to look at the hidden parts of his true psyche, figuring it is the only way that he can find out who he really is.

Easy Tiger is a beautifully intimate portrait of an emotionally exposed man and the profound impact a surprising homoerotic attraction has on the course of his life.

Horseplay

FILM SKOOL


During a scorching Argentine summer, a group of friends get together at a luxury villa to enjoy the holiday. They drink, party hard, make videos together... and test one another's boundaries. A rare mix of homophobia and horseplay come together to create a wildly homoerotic atmosphere. Under the surface, jealousy and violence begin to emerge. A twisted triangle of friends - a repressed gay man, a secret bisexual boy and a homophobe - will push tensions to the limit.


As with much of his work, prolific writer-director Marco Berger expertly amplifies the homoerotic undercurrents of male friendships, exploring his characters toned physiques as much as their inner thoughts. While the surface of Horseplay offers a wealth of eye-candy, the film also offers an intelligent and challenging critique of sexual misconduct and toxic masculinity.

Tommy Guns

FILM SKOOL


Tommy Guns invokes the ghosts of Angola's colonial past while embracing the symbolic power of genre filmmaking.

The story begins in 1974, just one year before the country's independence from decades of Portuguese rule. Wealthy colonists are fleeing the country as Angolan revolutionaries gradually claim their land back. A tribal girl discovers love and danger when her path crosses that of a Portuguese soldier. Another group of soldiers, completely cut off from the outside world, blindly follow the brutal orders of their commander in the name of serving their country. But nothing stays fixed in this genre-shifting cinematic puzzle, which playfully swerves from art house drama to war film to zombie flick to escape thriller with exhilarating control.

Winner of Best European Film and the Youth Jury Award at the Locarno Film Festival, Tommy Guns has elicited comparisons to the work of Claire Denis, Miguel Gomes and even M. Night Shyamalan, and announces a bold and exciting new voice in Portuguese and Angolan filmmaking.

Enter the Video Store - Empire of Screams

FILM SKOOL


Remember the shelves of your local video store? Those days aren’t gone! Reject reality and substitute your own with Arrow Video! In 1983, entrepreneurial producer and director Charles Band founded Empire International Pictures, which would go on to make some of the most memorable and beloved genre movies of the 1980s. Empire became a mainstay of video stores across the world with their catchy titles, outlandish art and Band’s wholehearted belief in giving audiences a good time.


In The Dungeonmaster (aka Ragewar), computer programmer Paul Bradford is sucked into a fantasy world by Mestema, a demonic sorcerer in search of a worthy opponent. Meanwhile, fresh from the one-two punch of Re-Animator and From Beyond, director Stuart Gordon takes a turn toward fairytale gothic in Dolls, in which a group of strangers find themselves forced to seek shelter at the isolated home of an old toymaker and his wife, only to find that the puppets and dolls have a vicious life of their own. In Cellar Dweller, a comic book artist (Jeffrey Combs) with a penchant for the macabre takes inspiration from an ancient tome and unleashes an ancient evil. Arena presents the ultimate fight night event: man vs monster! In the far future of 4038, a short order cook becomes the first human in fifty years to compete in an intergalactic boxing event on the far side of the universe. Finally in Robot Jox, Stuart Gordon directs Empire Pictures' most ambitious movie yet, as men and women pilot giant machines in gladiatorial battle to settle international disputes over territory.

Freshly restored for the digital era with a wealth of new and archival extras, these films have never looked better. No need for a time machine, these golden age video classics will send you back to the 80s!

When the city’s Gay Pride Parade celebration is shattered by a sudden act of violence, friends Guy and Joy take cover at Guy’s apartment, en-route picking up a fellow parade-goer, Dan. Though in shock at the day’s events, but bolstered by a stash of recreational drugs, Guy is determined to carry on partying and get close to the mysterious and handsome Dan. What follows is a hallucinatory 24 hours of sex, substance abuse and paranoia, in which the lines between reality, intimacy and violence become alarmingly blurred.
