Man on a mission to find and preserve the rarest and most obscure films ever made. Posts mostly film & TV related content.
For those who aren't on Twitter and missed this here's a link for a rare film collection that I posted there earlier this week, most of these are not very easy to find, English subtitles included for those that need them.

As most of you know already my Twitter account got terminated, I thought it was just going to be a couple days suspension but Twitter support confirmed that it will not be restored due to copyright infringements so it's time to start over. New uploads are coming.

I just realized there's one ABS-CBN restored movie with English subtitles! This is because they got the copy of Nunal sa Tubig (Speck In The Water) from Fukuoka City's library
And yes, that means it has hardcoded Japanese and English subs

If you missed your chance to see HOT DOGS FOR GAUGUIN (1972), Martin's Brest thesis film at NYU starring a young Danny DeVito when it leaked in 2022 you can now correct that as someone has uploaded an HD copy of it on Youtube! This was imposible to see for 50 years!

Anyway, "Gaza Ghetto" is devastating, heartbreaking stuff.
It depicts a bad situation that has only gotten worse.
Worthwhile, powerful viewing, but depressing.

Note that this is the last time I'll be reuploading these as they are very large files and take a long time to download and re-upload so unless I manage to make that 35mm drive once they're gone, they're gone. Enjoy!
