New accounts on Twitter are @ raremoviesguy and @ rarefilmarchive please follow those, I'll be posting new stuff soon, I'll post here as well but tbh I never really liked Bluesky, the presence of the latin community here is pretty much nonexistent as that matters a lot to me.

What's up everyone,
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.

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!
