THE BUSINESS OF FANCYDANCING (2002)

Since their high school graduation, former Spokane Reservation best friends Seymour (Evan Adams, Smoke Signals) and Aristotle (Gene Tagaban) have taken different paths. Both ventured off to college in Seattle, but while Seymour embraced the opportunities of the white world, Aristotle returned home embittered. Sixteen years later, they are brought together following the sudden death of an old childhood buddy. Seymour, now an openly gay poet and unofficial spokesman for Native Americans, is met with resentment on "the rez." At the wake, tensions are heightened, and Aristotle's long festering bitterness is dangerously exposed. Written, directed and featuring poetic works by best-selling author Sherman Alexie (The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian and Smoke Signals), The Business of Fancydancing is a powerful story of growth, death, and the choices that define us all. (DVD and BLU-RAY)

THE MYSTERIOUS GAZE OF THE FLAMINGO (2025) 

Set in a remote Chilean mining town in 1982, Diego Céspedes' dazzling debut feature follows young Lidia, who grows up within a vibrant queer household led by drag performers and trans women. When a mysterious illness--rumored to spread through the gaze between men--sows fear and hysteria, the community becomes the target of suspicion and violence. Through Lidia's eyes, Céspedes crafts a haunting allegory of love, myth, and prejudice that reimagines the early AIDS era as a queer western with poetic intimacy and desert-dry surrealism. Chile's Official Submission to the 98th Academy Awards® for Best International Feature Film and winner of the Un Certain Regard Award at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival, The Mysterious Gaze of the Flamingo recalls the emotional vibrancy of Almodóvar and continues Chile's proud legacy of queer cinema--marking Céspedes as one of the most exciting new voices in world cinema. (BLU-RAY and DVD)

COLONY MUTATION (1995) 

When genetic scientist Meredith Weaver finds out about her husband's affair, she doses him with an experimental and very unstable serum, which causes his body parts to separate from his torso and take on monstrous lives of their own, all of them now craving human flesh. Soon, he's stalking the streets in search of young women to quench the now insatiable hunger of his evil appendages.

Tom Berna's rarely seen, stop-motion heavy Super 8mm body horror plays out like an alternate universe Lifetime movie directed by David Cronenberg that delivers both the gruesome FX set pieces but also serves a cautionary tale of male sexual addiction and unchecked passion. (BLU-RAY)

THE KEY (1985)

1940s Venice. After twenty years of marriage, a retired art critic and his younger wife feel their passion is waning. To help her shed her inhibitions and rekindle their relationship, the professor records his sexual fantasies in a diary.(BLU-RAY + 4K)
