The essential document of New York’s 1980s New Wave scene and the archetypal "Midnight Movie" from director Slava Tsukerman returns home to Night Flight. In what is one of the most delectably stylish Science Fiction films ever produced: A small, heroin seeking UFO lands on a Manhattan roof, observes a bizarre, drug addicted fashion model and sucks endorphin from her sexual encounters' brains.

RIP Slava Tsukerman (1939-2026). Night Flight creator Stuart S. Shapiro talks to the writer, producer and director of Liquid Sky, Slava Tsukerman. Originally aired at the Roxy Theatre in NYC for Night Flight's screening on June 12th, 2024. Available for Night Flight Plus members.

A woman named Sonja’s past, present and future.

The story of young sisters in the American Midwest left alone with their increasingly unstable mother while their father is fighting in the Civil War. The film traces the girls’ naturally fraught sibling dynamic and the ways that their father’s absence ignites their imagination. When they meet a stranger in the forest they become enchanted by a world of creative work and nature, a welcome distraction from their volatile mother. Play and the dreamlike space they inhabit provides an expansive and ultimately grounding setting for the girls’ response to war.

An adaptation of the 1886 musical “Alice in Wonderland: A Dream Play for Children” by Henry Saville Clark and Walter Slaughter. "James Fotopoulos’s adaptation of Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass by way of Henry Saville Clark and Walter Slaughter’s 1886 musical Alice in Wonderland: A Dream Play for Children—is an extremely curious object in its own right, and its premiere New York screening is a must-see. If you doze through a few of its ninety-nine minutes, your dreams will be the better for it ... In terms of avant-garde genres, it could be classified, to borrow a term from P. Adams Sitney, as a trance film." - Amy Taubin, ArtForum

REMASTERED: David Markey's Desperate Teenage Lovedolls chronicles the rise and fall of the fictitious all girl band, the Lovedolls. "Kind of an all-girl Spinal Tap" said the Los Angeles Reader at the time of release. The positive critical response didn't stop there. "This is worthy of a Joan Crawford vehicle" chimed The Village Voice. Made on a micro-budget and cast with members of the Los Angeles punk scene (Redd Kross, Black Flag etc.), shot guerrilla-style on the streets of Hollywood and Santa Monica and Venice. This was a true Do-It-Yourself effort, made for the ragged fellow travelers on the scene at the time.
