CAMP CRYSTAL POND: Sleepaway Camp

The shocking (and schlocky) classic!

SLEEPAWAY CAMP - Welcome to Camp Arawak, where the shorts are really short, the kids are mean as hell, and someone is brutally murdering campers and counselors in the most horrific of ways! One of the greatest slasher films of all time, with an ending that will haunt you forever, it also perfectly captures the awkward confusion of adolescent sexuality like few films have done, let alone in the gutters of exploitation. Still controversial. Still weird. A must see for all horror fans!

“I Love Boosters paints another winning amusement park ride in the bright colors of its filmmaker’s politics” – AV Club

Professional shoplifters embark on a wild adventure as they target a cutthroat fashion mogul.

“A Light and Zippy Music Biopic Explores the Story Behind One of the Most Famous Concerts Ever Performed" - IndieWire

Keith Jarrett's legendary performance in January 1975 nearly didn't happen. Based on a true story, Köln 75 follows how the concert was conceived and orchestrated by the efforts of a teenage up and coming concert promoter, Vera Brandes, (played by German actress Mala Emde). Her enthusiasm set her to multitasking -- from organizing the concert venue (the Cologne Opera House), promoting the event, and selling the tickets, to convincing Jarrett to perform when he almost dropped out when the Bösendorfer Imperial Grand piano he was promised was nowhere to be found. John Magaro plays Jarrett with his own intensity, a sublime counterpoint to Mala Emde's joyful portrayal of the enthusiastic and unstoppable Vera. Köln 75 captures the compelling, entertaining and, until now, unknown back story about Jarrett's one-hour, entirely improvised concert, which became the best-selling solo album in jazz history.
