Probably the greatest story ever told, after FORGOTTEN SILVER by Peter Jackson. Suddenly, everything makes sense in history. But you will not be able to tell what you just saw. During World War II, the Allied Secret Service recruited a Mexican masked wrestler named the Golden Angel. Recently discovered secret files reveal that this agent thwarted several plans that could have changed the course of the conflict in favor of the Nazis. This documentary chronicles the perilous missions of the Golden Angel and how he came to face Hitler in person.

Rodney Ascher, David Lawrence, Ryan Sexton

Between appearing in supporting roles in General Hospital and local TV commercials, Ryan Sexton spent the early 90s documenting the life and art of El Duce, lead singer of the notorious shock rock band The Mentors. Famous for taking the stage in black executioner hoods, the band spent a few moments in the national spotlight after some of their most offensive lyrics were denounced on the floor of the US Senate. 25 years later, David Lawrence and Rodney Ascher dive into the long unseen VHS footage searching for clues about who El Duce really was, how much of his disturbing persona was for real, and what an act built around a cartoonish sense of violent misogyny can tell us about our own time and place.

SISTERS WITH TRANSISTORS maps a new history of electronic music through the visionary women whose radical experimentations with machines redefined the boundaries of music: Clara Rockmore, Daphne Oram, Bebe Barron, Delia Derbyshire, Maryanne Amacher, Pauline Oliveros, Wendy Carlos, Eliane Radigue, Suzanne Ciani, and Laurie Spiegel. While electronic music is often perceived as a boy’s club, the truth is from the beginning women have been integral in inventing the devices, techniques and tropes that have defined the shape of modern sound.

Aram Garriga

Founded in 1966 in California by Anton Szandor LaVey, the Church of Satan has often been surrounded by mysteries, scandals and moral panics.
Some of today’s active members of the church and other free-styled Satanists will share their views, memories, ritual practices and personal stories about how they got involved with Satanic religion and what are the false myths that still surround the movement. An immersive journey into one the most fascinating phenomena of American religious pluralism.

1989. In an era of Nintendo-mania, toymaker giant Mattel unleashes a bold technological experiment to an eager public. The POWER GLOVE: the first video game controller that allows players to operate Nintendo games with intuitive hand gestures. Despite immense hype surrounding its release, the product is a critical failure, disappointing thousands of children with its subpar gameplay. More than two decades later, however, dedicated fans continue to repurpose the Power Glove for art pieces, hacking projects, electronic music, and more. For the first time ever: the story behind the world's most notorious video game controller.

Fuck the Fascism intends to expose the true story behind monuments that glorify genocides, tyranny and slavery; to raise public awareness about the national heroes who we praise, those men who our streets are named after, and bequeathed great wealth forged with robbery, abuse and blood.

This is the second episode of the Political-Porn Docu-Film project “Fuck the Fascism”. It was shot during the Porn Yourself Festival in Paris. It is also an open invitation to everyone who wants to participate, from all over the world, to film their actions and reveal information about the place where they materialize. The recordings would be adhered to the project, which is growing to be a series of porno-vandalic actions in a documentary feature film.

"We come out to the streets. Monsters, mutants, queers, sudakas, migrants, dissidents; those who wake up and want to wake up others. Breaking down the walls imposed by (dis)knowledge. We fuck back the glorified asses of fascist dignitaries, heroes of colonialism. We fuck them, and in the crime scene we ejaculate real history on their stone bodies."
