Many years ago we released a few DVD's in the UK - one of our favourites was Cesar Canevari's The Nude Princess. A real euroddity starring Ajita Wilson and Tina Aumont. We were lucky enough to get one of the last interviews with Tina before she sadly passed away in 2006. The disc is long since discontinued but we thought we'd share the interview with you again here. Even this late in her life

The death of Jean Rollin at the end of 2010 was a sad blow. No less for the fact that he was still working right up to the end, still planning new films. He was an important figure in the history of what we have come to know as “fantastic” cinema and he was an important figure to Mondo Macabro – our first TV show in the Eurotika! series was a profile of him and his work and the book, Mondo

Just so you hear it from us first – Lorna the Exorcist release will, sadly, be delayed. Due end of this month, it will now be a month or so late. This is due to circumstances GENUINELY beyond our control. Trust us, if you knew how hard we’ve worked to get round this, you’d be minting us medals rather than hurling epithets. In our defence, we’d like to point out that in nearly 50 MM releases,

A few days in Cannes at the world’s biggest film festival, to screen Down Terrace and talk through future projects. We got to see a number of films also... some in competition, mostly in the market. Screening times and meeting schedules being what they are, you never get to see all the films you want to, but we tried to sample a cross section of what was on offer. Here's some thoughts on what we

Karol Grossmann was a doctor and film pioneer who, in 1905, made the first Slovenian movie. He also inspired his one time house guest Fritz Lang, who back then was intent on being a sculptor, with the idea of making films instead. And we know what that led to…In commemoration of the centenary of the good doctor’s first film and of the wine making tradition of his home town of Ljutomer, the

Pretty much unseen anywhere since its 1986 release, BOF is an hallucinatory journey into cosmic consciousness, in the spirit of Jodorowsky’s El Topo or The Magic Mountain. But comparisons are always ill

The Mondo team (both of us!) were in Cannes for a few days for the film festival and to try to raise funds for a couple of projects we’re involved in.Due to the insane price hikes for accommodation in Cannes (not to mention the “madness of crowds” that seems to affect people at festival time) we decide to stay in Nice. Nice is nice. Much nicer than Cannes. And it’s only 20 minutes away on the

This is a great showcase for films from Japan, Hong Kong, Indonesia, China, Thailand etc; and, unlike other festivals where it’s the biggest or most prestigious films on display, Udine tends to spice up the mix with films that were either local

As the years go by, it becomes ever more obvious that French film maker Jean Rollin is one of the true heroes, not only of “film fantastique” but of independent cinema itself. For any readers who’ve just arrived from Mars, a brief résumé: Born in Paris, France, 1938; began to make shorts in the 1950’s and his first full length feature (Le Viol du vampire) in 1967. It opened in Paris in May 1968,
