Feature-MARWENCOL-$8.00
MARWENCOL-directed, produced and
edited by Jeff
Malmberg
http://www.marwencol.com/
-Trailer, reviews, background all at the website.
"Marwencol"
is a
documentary about the fantasy world of Mark Hogancamp.
After being
beaten into a
brain-damaging coma by five men outside a bar, Mark builds a
1/6th scale World
War II-era town in his backyard. Mark populates the town he dubs
"Marwencol" with dolls representing his friends and family and
creates life-like photographs detailing the town's many
relationships and
dramas.
Playing in
the town and
photographing the action helps Mark to recover his hand-eye
coordination and
deal with the psychic wounds of the attack. When Mark and his
photographs are
discovered, a prestigious New York gallery sets up an art show.
Suddenly
Mark's homemade
therapy is deemed "art", forcing him to choose between the
safety of
his fantasy life in Marwencol and the real world that he's
avoided since the attack.

Feature-A
COLT IS MY PASSPORT(1967)-$8.00
One of
Japanese cinema’s supreme emulations of American noir, Takashi
Nomura’s A
Colt Is My Passport is a down-and-dirty but gorgeously
photographed yakuza film starring Joe Shishido as a
hard-boiled hit man caught between rival gangs. Featuring an
incredible,
spaghetti-western-style soundtrack and brimming with formal
experimentation,
this is Nikkatsu at its finest.

LATE SHOW-MADE
IN JAMAICA-$8.00
MADE IN JAMAICA is
a powerful portrait of the leaders of the
Jamaican music movement and how Reggae in particular became a
worldwide
phenomenon. It is the story of how a small island nation in the
Caribbean of
only three million people took their human experience and turned
it into songs
full of emotions that resonate around the world.
Reggae is Jamaica’s
blues: a music of both desperation and
hope.
Never before has a
single feature film presented the leaders
of the Reggae music movement with the intensity that MADE IN
JAMAICA
does.
The film features
Grammy Award Winner Toots, Gregory Isaacs,
Bunny Wailer (Bob Marley’s brother), 2006 Grammy Award Nominees
