The El Duce Tapes (2019)El Duce!
In the early 90's, aspiring filmmaker Ryan Sexton lugged a giant camcorder into some of the seediest clubs and the filthiest apartments in Hollywood. There he filmed hour upon hour of VHS footage of the jaw-dropping offensive Shock Rock band The Mentors, focusing on their infamous lead singer, 'El Duce'. 30 years later, the team behind 'The Nightmare' and 'Room 237' and the editor of 'Leap of Faith: William Friedkin' on 'The Exorcist' uncover this dusty stockpile of long forgotten and unseen - footage. They begin to piece together a picture of the man under the black executioners hood and what his wilfully offensive act and controversial views might tell us about 21st century America. An Incendiary, tragicomic documentary (midway between 'The Decline of Western Civilisation' and 'Crumb') which has been hailed as 'Essential Viewing' by CineVue and called 'Dark and Irresistible' by director John Carpenter, 'The El Duce Tapes' will chew you up, spit you out, and leave you floored. - Director:

Head-On (2004)Gegen Die Wand
Cahit, bedraggled and in a neck brace after driving his car into a wall, is more than a little surprised when beautiful, scarred Sibel proposes marriage - especially considering they met through their mutual desire to commit suicide.
