an all night marathon of newly found “lost” films. Hosted by Chris Poggiali of TEMPLE OF SCHLOCK and Lars Nilsen & Sam Prime of the American Genre Film Archive.
The American Genre Film Archive (AGFA) is an Austin-based repository that houses many film prints from the classic drive-in and exploitation era. In fact, it houses so many film prints, in so many different states of completeness and under so many different titles than new complete prints are uncovered all the time.
Temple Of Schlock is a website edited by Chris Poggiali on which he celebrates and posts new research about just these kinds of titles. One popular feature on the site is “The Endangered List”, which catalogues films thought lost at one time or another
Now AGFA and Temple Of Schlock are teaming up to present four films, previously considered lost, now rediscovered in the AGFA vaults. Because these are all titles that played on the all-night “grindhouse” screens, it is only appropriate that the show will be an all-nighter. Expect lots of sex and violence with a chaser of more sex and violence.
