On Friday, January 20th, the RENDEZVOUS crew and I celebrated our 15th anniversary at the beautiful Frida Cinema in Santa Ana, California. As part of the evening's festivities, we partnered with Austrian film/music label Cineploit and screened L'isola dei resuscitati morti -- a short film directed by Domenico Montixi that is a brilliant homage to Italian zombie genre films of the early '80s à la Lucio Fulci and Joe D'Amato. The film screened beautifully and, from the audience's reaction, was a tremendous hit. Below you'll find Antonio Lucchi's stellar poster art and a behind-the-scenes video of his alternative poster. The Rendezvous event poster above was designed by RENDEZVOUS graphics wiz Carlos Colón.
And here's footage of the film's introduction by Cineploit's Alex Wank and director Domenico Montixi (footage shot from the projection booth on my iPhone).
Many thanks to our guest DJ and dear friend Scott Carlson for hooking us up with Cineploit and Domenico, to the awesome staff at The Frida Cinema, and to all our friends and patrons who joined us that night.
Yay! Such a fun night! Congrats on 15 years! Proud I've been comin round for a third of them! To anyone stumbling upon this post: this is an incredibly magical collective with a unique vision worth seeking out and experiencing ~ you will be enchanted and long to return! It's so special to find scenes created with love, outta love, with no agenda but to share wonderful experiences in music and film with other freethinkers/freefeelers/divergents.
