For #FoundFilmFriday, we’re celebrating Ngozi Onwurah’s 1995 masterpiece Welcome II the Terrordome. As the first UK feature by a Black British woman, this fierce Afrofuturist dystopia was nearly lost to history before a stunning new 2K restoration rescued it! Now out via The Criterion Collection.

For #MissingMovieMonday: the 1976 Bicentennial doc America at the Movies. Directed by George Stevens Jr. & narrated by Charlton Heston, it compiled clips from 83 classic films. Due to music rights & multi-studio clip licensing, it's trapped off streaming & home video. Let's get it out of the vault!

Bending the #FoundFilmFriday rules today because perfection deserves a spotlight. Richard Linklater’s Nouvelle Vague—his black-and-white ode to the making of Breathless—is getting a stunning new 4K digital master supervised by the director. A modern classic getting the archival upgrade it deserves!

For this week’s #FoundFilmFriday: Coyote vs. Acme. Making a movie about an evil corporation cutting corners for cash, only for the studio to bury it for a tax write-off, is peak meta-satire. Huge win for Dave Green and the team that Ketchup Entertainment rescued it from the vault. 📦💥
