Hard To Find Films
Films From the Silent era and up that you can't find anywhere else!
Ever wonder what a pentecostal church service in Appalachia would look like? Well wonder no more, 'cause here it is in all its babbling, spasmodic, poison guzzling, snake handlin' glory.
The late Peter Adair (1943-1996) is best known in the queer community as one of the auteurs of Word Is Out, the first documentary about gay people that found a home in the mainstream. An outsider himself as a gay man, Adair was apparently drawn to other outsiders. His first, and in some ways best, film explored a distinctive American subculture. Holy Ghost People is a 53-minute documentary about snake-handling, strychnine-swilling members of the "Holiness" church. Rightly hailed by Margaret Mead as one of the best ethnographic films ever made, and a staple of classes on anthropology and documentary film, this study of a little-known sect who put their lives on the line for their religion still packs a wallop three decades after its release.

responsibility to verify that your player is capable of playing DVD-Rs.

of additional or "bonus" materials sometimes associated with commercial
or factory releases.
Shipping is $5 for the first item plus $1
