The Pleasure Is Mine
Film Skool
| Twenty-year-old Antonio wanders the streets of Buenos Aires, using his magnetic charisma and sexual confidence to survive through hustling, drug dealing, and stealing from his various hookups, living with a sense of impunity despite his inability to form genuine connections.
His volatile relationship with his mother oscillates between intimacy and hostility until she finally confronts him and pushes him to leave. His escape transforms from a simple pursuit to recover stolen money into an unexpected journey where Antonio seeks real intimacy in surprising places and discovers a chance for redemption in this sexually charged film of desire versus love.
Black Zombie
Film Skool
| Black Zombie digs beneath the blood-soaked spectacle of modern horror to uncover the zombie’s buried and unsettling origins.
Long before it became associated with flesh-eating ghouls, the zombie was a living metaphor for slavery: not a monster, but the ultimate victim of colonial power. A symbol of stolen agency was recast as an object of fear, while black spiritual traditions were distorted, sensationalised, and erased.
Director Maya Annik Bedward traces the evolution of the zombie from colonial Haiti to contemporary Hollywood, reconsidering iconic films like White Zombie, Night of the Living Dead, and The Serpent and the Rainbow. archival footage, vérité scenes, and interviews with cultural historians, artists, and genre legends including Yves-Grégory Francois, Mambo Labelle Déesse, Slash, Tom Savini, and Zandashé Brown.
Part cultural reckoning, part horror remix, Black Zombie exposes how a figure born from enslavement, spiritual belief, and resistance was transformed into one of pop culture’s most profitable monsters.
#Manhole
Film Skool
Kawamura (Yûto Nakajima, Pink and Gray) is a promising young salesman with everything going for him. After attending a surprise party on the eve of his wedding, he drunkenly stumbles home and falls into a deep, dirty manhole with a broken ladder.
After many failed attempts to call for help, Kawamura is still determined to escape and attend his wedding as planned. But as his options for escape dwindle, he turns to social media, posing as a helpless girl to plead for help. Unfortunately, he soon finds out that relying on the kindness of stranger online doesn't always go to plan...
Hailed as a “A claustrophobic nerve-wrecker" by Martin Kudlac at Screen Anarchy, Kumakiri Kazuyoshi's #Manhole is a taut, twisty thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat til the final credits role.
Macho Dancer
Film Skool
| One of Lino Brocka’s lasting successes, 1988’s Macho Dancer admirably blends the maestro’s flair for socially conscious melodrama and pulp provocation — setting the template for what would become Viva Films’ erotic niche to this day. Upon losing a reliable American client, 18-year-old gigolo Pol (Allan Paule) leaves his native province to try his luck in the soapy gay clubs of Manila. As Pol learns to ropes alongside fellow stripper Noel (Daniel Fernando) and savvy prostitute Bambi (Jaclyn Jose), he discovers more than his young mind bargained for: an underbelly of protection rackets, human trafficking and political corruption. Underlying the film’s astutely cynical outlook on systemic, class-based exploitation in the Filipino context is a neon-lit tale of sexual self-discovery gyrating between queer desire and heteronormative strictures, sensuality and grit, tenderness and violence. Heavily censored upon release and hugely successful overseas, Macho Dancer follows the recent re-discovery of Lino Brocka’s Bona and is presented here in a new 4K restoration from Viva Film’s original film elements.
Incense for the Damned
Film Skool
A mysterious collapse, the starting point for one of British horror's most sexually charged and transgressive vampire films. Not all vampires wear capes. Some disappear to Mykonos and never come back the same.
Incense for the Damned follows Patrick Mower as Richard Fountain, an academic runaway who disappears into obsession on a sun-drenched research trip to Mykonos. It's a psychedelic mod-horror that doesn't just blur the line between the supernatural and the erotic — it weaponises it, exploring addiction, desire and moral collapse in ways mainstream horror rarely dared.
Co-starring Patrick Macnee, Imogen Hassall, Alex Davion, Johnny Sekka, Edward Woodward and horror royalty Peter Cushing.
