101 Films press release: New to 101 x AGFA in February!

The 101 Films x AGFA range returns in February with a joyous early '90s horror triumph starring John Hawkes, and a pair of DIY action movies from Uganda that will blow you away!

SCARY MOVIE

A joyous horror triumph starring Academy Award© nominee John Hawkes. On Halloween night, big-time nerd Warren (Hawkes, channelling a mix of Buster Keaton and Crispin Glover) attends a spookhouse in a small Texas town. But is the haunted house as harmless as it seems, or has a psychotic mental patient found a new stomping ground? Shot in Austin, Texas, SCARY MOVIE combines Argento-esque neon, Freddy Krueger dreamscapes, and slapstick inspired by EVIL DEAD 2 to forge a valentine to Halloween, rubber monster masks, and chopped-off limbs. From the songs by Roky Erickson and Butthole Surfers to the 
surrealistic mood, this is a true discovery for adventurous horror-heads.

• Commentary with director Daniel Erickson and Joseph A. Ziemba of AGFA
• MR. PUMPKIN and LITTLE HERO short films by Daniel Erickson

WAKALIWOOD SUPA ACTION VOL. 1: WHO KILLED CAPTAIN ALEX? + BAD BLACK

Welcome to Wakaliwood, Uganda: home of “DA BEST OF DA BEST MOVIES!” and the 
vanguards of DIY commando cinema! Under the guidance of writer-director-producer 
Nabwana Isaac Godfrey Geoffrey (IGG) and with producer-star Alan Ssali Hofmanis, this crack crew of self-taught filmmakers and martial arts aficionados produce dozens of gonzo action films in the Kampala ghetto with budgets that rarely exceed $200 USD. Utilizing scrap parts to build computers, machine guns, and a full-sized Huey helicopter, these real-life superheroes inspire more heart, imagination, and soul than a thousand Hollywood blockbusters. AGFA is proud to bring two of the most reckless, out-of-control brain-blasts in the Wakaliwood canon to home video for the first time ever in the UK -- WHO KILLED CAPTAIN ALEX and BAD BLACK! And in Uganda's finest storytelling tradition, the films are 
complemented by the acerbic wit of narrator/VJ (Video Joker) VJ Emmie, who sums up the Wakaliwood experience with a single sentiment: “It is a love story . . . LOVE OF ACTION!”

Special Features
• WHO KILLED CAPTAIN ALEX with or without VJ Emmie
• BAD BLACK with VJ Emmie
• Director's Commentary
• Behind da scenes
• Trailers and commercials
• Interviews and news clips
