"DER FAN is not about sexual deviance or violence; nor is it about the Third Reich. Rather, it’s about the fascistic, ritualistic dimension of popular music, predicated as it is on idol worship—something to which Nosbusch was routinely an eyewitness in her capacity as a TV host."

[Metrograph @Metrograph]

“Never meet your idols, they say—but no one’s told that to Simone (Désirée Nosbusch), the 17-year-old at the center of cold-blooded cult shocker DER FAN”

— Keva York (@kevasyork) on Eckhart Schmidt’s newly restored, chilling cult fable and the all-consuming side of pop fandom.

"Newly restored, SPIKE OF BENSONHURST looks fantastic. SPIKE is very well-fitted to the label’s Fun City theme, being full of footage shot all over countless Bensonhurt, Red Hook, DUMBO, Greenpoint and Astoria locales."

Long before we launched Fun City Editions, there was a series of videos called DIRTY OLD NEW YORK AKA FUN CITY, the first one being DIRTY OLD NEW YORK SUBWAY (2013).

The current "NYC in Transit" series at @FilmForumNYC inspired this repost of SUBWAY: https://t.co/c9VPvF2nPQ

"Fun City Editions delivers a beautiful package, doing justice to a lost, once-much-sought-after film. Their 4K remaster retains the bold new-wave colors of fluorescent reds, pinks, and purples, and a cool range of browns and beiges with true clarity."

[PopMatters @PopMatters]

Riot Grrl-referenced music drama LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, THE FABULOUS STAINS built the scaffold on which more successful films about women in punk rock would scale grander heights. @FunCityEdition

Ces affiches des années 80 qui nous mettaient des étoiles plein les yeux. Il y a 40 ans, CDA distribuait Strangers Kiss dans les salles françaises. L'hommage à Kubrick avec Peter Coyote et Victoria Tennant sortait le 21 août 1985 pour notre plus grand bonheur.
