Dangerous Men

In 1979, Iranian filmmaker John S. Rad moved to the U.S. to shoot his dream project, a rampaging gutter epic of crime, revenge, cop sex, and raw power. Just 26 years later, he completed an action film masterpiece that the world is still barely ready for today: DANGEROUS MEN. After Mina witnesses her fiancĂ©’s brutal murder by beach thugs, she sets out on a venomous spree to eradicate all human trash from Los Angeles. Armed with a knife, a gun, and an undying rage, she murders her way through the masculine half of the city’s populace. A renegade cop is hot on her heels, a trail that also leads him to the subhuman criminal overlord known as Black Pepper. Blades flash, blood flows, bullets fly, and synthesizers blare as the morgue overflows with the corpses of Dangerous Men. (American Genre Film Archive)

Surfer: Teen Confronts Fear (35mm Premiere)

35mm premiere of a new black-and-white version of Surfer!

Writer / Director / Producer / Star / Composer / Physics Professor Douglas Burke poured more than a decade into the making of a film unlike anything you have ever experienced before or could even imagine, an outsider art masterwork of family, surfing, and a teen confronting fear.

Surfing since as young as he can remember, at the age of 13, Sage is crippled by fear after suffering a wipeout on a huge wave. The wave slammed him to the bottom and held him pinned there without air until he nearly died. With his whole life still ahead of him yet now paralyzed by fear, Sage no longer surfs the waves. But unable to ignore the mystical and powerful pull of the ocean, he fishes in the surf, and finds more than he bargained for. This is the story of a teenager who confronts fear.
