Celluloid Man is a tribute to film archivist and obsessive cinephile P.K. Nair, a man whose childhood fascination with cinema finally led to the creation of the National Film Archive of India. In a country where film preservation was once regarded as irrelevant, Nair’s has been
a long, hard fight to preserve precious pieces of India’s film heritage that would otherwise be lost forever.
Featuring wonderful clips and interviews with many Indian and international filmmakers, this award-winning documentary (receiving here it's world premiere release on DVD) is both a portrait of a man’s passion with film and a love letter to cinema.
The DVD is presented in a new transfer, approved by the director; and the special features include a newly filmed, exclusive interview with the director, Dolby 5.1 audio option and a 20-page booklet featuring an essay by filmmaker, curator and author Mark Cousins and extracts from the director's own production diaries.

Regular edition of the all new album, in Jewel box with 12 page booklet! Ataraxia in their own words on their new album: “Is this the bitter-sweet side of ourselves? We portray great misery, of course, and a typically human desperate need of survival but, at the same time, joke and irony are always present to exorcise the fear of decay and death. Here we are just musicians playing airs that make you dance and cry at the same time, and while doing this we say to ourselves: “Take your bloody knife and start exploring your killing nature, be not politically correct, sing and play as a fucking gorgon if you wish and have fun". “Paris Spleen” and the following “Spasms” are works in progress, both musically and as live performances, and our main actor Paul Patchy is just a disseminator of chaos.”
Arrow Video is delighted to announce the latest addition to its roster of Jack Hill movies with the muscular stock car racing melodrama, Pit Stop. Following the release of blaxploitation classic Foxy Brown and the truly one-of-a-kind Spider Baby, Pit Stop has been treated to an all-new restoration (overseen by technical supervisor James White, previously responsible for Arrow Video’s acclaimed Blu-rays of Zombie Flesh Eaters, Time Bandits, and The Fury) that hopes to bring fresh interest to one of Hill’s lesser-known but arguably greatest works.
Reuniting Hill with the stars of Spider Baby, Sid Haig and Beverly Washburn, Pit Stop also features Oscar-nominee Brian Donlevy in his final big screen appearance, Ellen Burstyn in only her third film role and Richard ‘Dick’ Davalos, future cover star for The Smiths (he graces their final LP, Strangeways Here We Come) and former co-star to James Dean (East of Eden) and Paul Newman (Cool Hand Luke).
Complementing this dual-format Blu-ray and DVD edition are a host of all-new extras, including an audio commentary with Hill, interviews with Hill, Haig and producer Roger Corman, and a demonstration of the extensive restoration work by James White. The accompanying collector’s booklet includes new essays by US critic Glenn Kenny and the musicologist Gray Newell, who relates the history of forgotten Seattle psych band The Daily Flash and their soundtrack to Pit Stop.
Synopsis:
The most dangerous game ever devised, to pit man against man, flesh against steel – the figure-8 race! Jack Hill (Coffy, Foxy Brown) follows up Spider Baby, once again teaming up with Sid Haig (House of 1000 Corpses) in one of his greatest roles for this action-spectacular crash-o-rama
Richard Davalos (East of Eden) stars as Rick Bowman, a street punk who winds up in jail after a street race goes wrong. Bailed out by race promoter Grant Willard, Davalos is put in the deadly track where he comes up against Haig’s maniacal winner Hawk Sidney. Featuring an outstanding supporting cast including Brian Donlevy (The Quatermass Xperiment) in his last film appearance, Ellen Burstyn (The Exorcist), billed as Ellen McRae, and Beverly Washburn (Spider Baby), Pit Stop is one of Hill’s lesser known films but arguably his greatest.
Filmed on a real figure-8 track, Hill and his crew were able to capture gripping real-life car wreck scenes lending the film a brilliant sense of realism. You’ve never seen a motion picture like this before – can you take it?

MultiColor was created by Russian musician Anton Guskov to represent the multitude of influences that ultimately shaped his sounds and ideas and as a result the first EP ‘Cyclicity‘ was complete, representing a thoughtful projection of Anton’s inner world.
With ‘Cyclicity‘, MultiColor‘s deliberate placement of sounds open an auditory field that not only creates an impression of space, but contracts and expands with a blend of glitch and guitar motifs over deep rhythms and warm undertones. A truly three-dimensional sound that brings to mind a radio broadcast from a sinking submarine. Bubbles rise up though the murky water and break at the surface, as the craft disappears into the deep. Once or twice, the sounds threaten of something more sinister, but never takes you there. The effect is to draw you further in… and lead you into the untapped regions of your subconscious, all the while maintaining an addictive underlying beat that never fails you.
