Nadja • 4K Restoration • London Premiere
1994 93mins USA (15) Horror / Drama
Directed by Michael Almereyda Starring Elina Lowensohn, Suzy Amis, Galaxy Craze, David Lynch

In 1993, invited by David Lynch to come up with a low-budget genre movie, Michael Almereyda (Tesla, Experimenter, Hamlet) came up with a moody, postmodern reimagining of the Dracula myth which draws inspiration from Dracula’s Daughter (1936) and André Breton’s surrealist novel Nadja. 

The film follows estranged vampire twins Nadja (Elina Löwensohn) and Edgar (a young Jared Harris) as they reunite following their father’s death by the flamboyantly unhinged Dr. Van Helsing, played with relish by Peter Fonda. 

The film’s striking visuals combine high-contrast black-and-white 35mm cinematography with the hallucinatory grain of Pixelvision video, looking better than ever in this new 4K restoration of the director’s cut.

London Premiere of the New 4K restoration of the director’s cut c/o Arbelos Films and Radiance Films.

Unzipped
1995 73mins USA (15) Documentary
Directed by Douglas Keeve Starring Isaac Mizrahi, Sandra Bernhard, Naomi Campbell

Designer Isaac Mizrahi proved a force of nature on the road to his legendary fall 1994 collection, a career-defining triumph that was documented with an effervescent intimacy by Douglas Keeve, Mizrahi’s then-partner. Both a time capsule of the buoyant, raucous 1990s, when pop culture and high art became interchangeable, and a vérité-style, in-the-trenches report on the daily agonies and ecstasies of the creative process, this seminal artistic portrait—sumptuously shot by Ellen Kuras and Robert Leacock—transcends glitz and glamour to offer an extraordinary view of the charisma and force of will inherent to genius, as well as its personal costs.

Digitally restored by the Sundance Institute and UCLA Film & Television Archive. Funding provided by Isaac Mizrahi Entertainment. Laboratory services by Roundabout Entertainment, Inc. and Deluxe Media Audio Services.
