The Amusement Park will be released on Blu-ray and DVD on September 13 via RLJE Films. Directed by master of horror George A. Romero, it’s streaming exclusively on Shudder.

Intended to be an educational film about elder abuse and ageism, it plays more like a psychological horror film. It premiered in 1975 but was lost until its release in 2019. Wally Cook wrote the script. Lincoln Maazel stars.

The Amusement Park has been restored in 4K by IndieCollect and the George A. Romero Foundation. Aleksander Walijewski designed the cover. Special features are listed below, where you’ll also find the trailer.

Special features:

Audio commentary by actor/crew member Michael Gornick

Bill & Bonnie's Excellent Adventure with Bonnie Hinzman

Sessão Mutual Films: Nossa própria imagem, um espelho de beleza: Os filmes de Camille Billops e James Hatch [Mutual Films Session: Our Own Image, A Mirror of Beauty: The Films of Camille Billops and James Hatch]

March 11: The link above leads to Portuguese-language information about the 22nd edition of the Mutual Films Session, co-curated and organized by me and Mariana Shellard, whose screenings will take place between March 12th and 31st at the São Paulo-based unit of the Instituto Moreira Salles and on March 23rd and 30th at the newly opened screening room of the Instituto's unit in Poços de Caldas.

The event provides Brazil-based audiences with the country's first-ever retrospective of the films of Camille Billops (1933-2019) and James Hatch (1928-2020), a team of American artists and archivists that made brilliantly self-reflexive documentaries, several of which are focused on members of Billops's family, who come to represent different aspects of African-American life. The films investigate with profundity, wit, and humor an American condition of cracked interiors covered up by smooth surfaces, with the eternal hope of creating a less hypocritical and more open world.

The series's three programs will present newly digitized copies of all six of the films made by Billops and Hatch (who, among other things, founded the Hatch-Billops Collection, currently stored at Emory University and one of the largest extant archives devoted to African-American art and culture). Five of the films have been remastered in 2K, an initiative undertaken by their longtime distributor, the New York-based Third World Newsreel. The sixth - the couple's remarkable early portrait film of one of Billops's cousins called Suzanne, Suzanne - has been restored in 4K by the nonprofit entity IndieCollect.

The filmic works of Billops and Hatch received much positive feedback during the directors' lifetimes, but their reception has experienced a renaissance during the past few years thanks in good part to the availability of these new copies. Among critical texts that have recently been published, a piece by Yasmina Price written in conjunction with a streaming series of the couple's films on The Criterion Channel is particularly full. Contemporary researchers are fortunate to be able to have access to multiple interviews that Billops gave, including a long conversation from 1996 with bell hooks (included in hooks's book Reel to Real: Race, Sex, and Class at the Movies, whose Brazilian edition was published late last year by Editora Elefante) and a 1992 talk with Ameena Meer for BOMB Magazine that we were fortunate to be able to translate into Portuguese for our website.

The series's opening screening in São Paulo on March 12th will include a public post-screening conversation about Billops and Hatch's films with Aline Motta, an important contemporary Brazilian artist whose multidisciplinary works contain points of resonance with the couples' projects. The series is dedicated to the memory of the German filmmaker and activist Renate Sami, and it could also easily be dedicated to the memory of Philip Shellard, a quiet and generous recently deceased cinephile whose accomplishments include being Mariana's father and a figure of unrelenting support.

George A. Romero’s Lost Film The Amusement Park Comes to Shudder

Shudder has acquired rights to George A. Romero’s The Amusement Park, the film from the Night of the Living Dead helmer that was considered lost until a print surfaced in 2018.

The AMC Networks’ horror-centric streaming service will make the movie available in North America, U.K., Ireland, Australia and New Zealand this summer.

After a print of Amusement Park was tracked down by Daniel Kraus, longtime collaborator with director Guillermo del Toro, in 2018, the 1973 film was restored in 4K by IndieCollect in New York City.

George A. Romero’s The Amusement Park was commissioned by the Lutheran Society with the charter make a movie about shoddy treatment of the elderly in contemporary society. But Romero’s 52-minute production was never released because the nonprofit group found it to be too gruesome for mainstream audiences.

George A. Romero’s The Amusement Park stars Lincoln Maazel as an elderly man who finds himself increasingly disoriented and isolated during a visit to the amusement park. What he initially assumed would be an ordinary day quickly turned into a hellish nightmare filled with roller coasters and chaotic crowds.

Shudder described George A. Romero’s The Amusement Park as “perhaps Romero’s wildest and most imaginative movie, an allegory about the nightmarish realities of growing older.”

“The moment we heard ‘The Amusement Park’ had been rediscovered and was being restored, we knew we had to bring this unseen George A. Romero masterpiece to Shudder members,” said Craig Engler, Shudder general manager.

Suzanne Desrocher-Romero, founder and president of the George A. Romero Foundation, served as a producer on the film. George Romero died in 2017 at the age of 77.

“The first and only work-for-hire in Romero’s career sheds a new perspective on an ongoing issue of ageism and Romero’s uncanny sense of reflection on society, and the Romero ‘footprint’ is ever present and bodes well for the future of his impact on American cinema,” Desrocher-Romero said. “We are thankful to Yellow Veil Pictures who helped forge a path for us to find the most perfect custodian for this piece. Shudder understands that this film adds an important element to the Romero oeuvre. We are grateful.”

This documentary cult classic returns to theaters in a sparkling 4K digital restoration created by IndieCollect starting August 1 at Film Forum in New York. Armageddon has never been so darkly funny as in The Atomic Cafe. This 1982 cult classic juxtaposes Cold War history, propaganda, music and culture, seamlessly crafted from government-produced educational and training films, newsreels and advertisements. Taken together, these sources cheerily instruct the public on how to live in the Atomic Age, how to survive a nuclear attack (!) ... and how to fight and win a nuclear war. As a U.S. Army training film advises, "Viewed from a safe distance, the atomic bomb is one of the most beautiful sights ever seen by man." Returning to theaters in a sparkling 4K digital restoration created by IndieCollect, The Atomic Cafe is an absurdist blast from the past that would be downright laughable if it weren’t so eerily relevant to our fake news present.

William Greaves’ Nationtime and the Black National Convention of 2020

Between 10-12 March, 1972, Mayor Richard Hatcher hosted the National Black Political Convention in, not a convention centre in “progressive” cities like New York or Los Angeles, but a high school gymnasium in the “smokestack city” of Gary, Indiana. At the time, he and Carl Stokes were the only Black Mayors of cities with population exceeding 100,000.

Thousands of Black activists, artists, entertainers, elected officials and delegates from across the country journeyed into Hatcher’s hometown to partake in the making of an independent national Black political agenda. Rev Jesse Jackson set the scene in his first speech: “Brother Hatcher came up north and got a house in Gary and said to all of the scattered children in the various Black tribes across the nation, ‘Come home. I know my home is too small, brothers and sisters, but it’s home. Come home.’”

IndieCollect’s new 4K restoration of William Greaves’ Nationtime, wrought from the original print that was thought lost, begins with former news reporter Wali Siddiq sending home a roomful of journalists because the gymnasium was at capacity. But Imamu Amiri Baraka, the poet activist moderating, invited Greaves to document the convention himself; hence this 80-minute glimpse through Greaves’ naturally idiosyncratic point of view: unbroken handheld takes, extreme angles, whip pans and zooms.

Not obscuring his intentions here, as he did in his meta Symbiopsychotaxiplasm Take One or lacing his intentions with irony, as when he directed propaganda docs like Wealth of a Nation for the UN and USIA, Nationtime sees Greaves operating in rare unironic form. Harry Belafonte recites poetry by Baraka and Langston Hughes over the film, which is interposed with Sidney Poitier’s voice of god narration, and an original score by Phil Cohran that riffs between the convention’s concerts.

The committee that originally drafted the independent Black National agenda was disillusioned with the concessions conceded by the US Government after the civil rights movement. Speakers demanded reparations, a reduction in the military and police budgets, untrammeled voting rights and the formation of an independent Black political party. Elected officials in attendance were not as radical, and despite the committee’s aims to upend the two-party system, Black democrats, republicans, socialists and nationalists alike were welcomed. The point was unity, not uniformity, a consensus between all of Black America at any cost and despite any differences.

The Black National Convention of 2020 organised by the Movement for Black Lives and the Electoral Justice Project drew inspiration from the ’72 convention, even as it was forced to take virtual form due to COVID. Greaves’ Nationtime is the most tangible point of reference to the past convention, and footage from the restoration is weaved throughout.

Of course, the 2020 convention also tackled similar issues like defunding the police, climate change, voting rights, intracommunal violence and indigenous land protection. It also featured Black musicians and expanded on its predecessor’s variety with a cooking tutorial by the Bronx Collective Ghetto Gastro, a look at a Black Puerto Rican owned jewellery shop, Afro Lunatika, and much more.

Today, it is clear that Black liberation should and ought to have been structured around the voices of Black trans women and men, and the 2020 convention is built around their leadership. The idea of an independent Black party, central to the ’72 convention, is now outmoded. “We’ve evolved into a rainbow coalition… An independent party would be limiting.” Jackson reflected 48 years later.

Experiencing the National Black Political Convention of ’72 through Nationtime, with Black cinematography, narration and music over all Black speakers and icons, and watching the Black National Convention of 2020 inspired by and expanding on the former, is a great relief from the white spectre that haunts so much of Black culture. In restoring Nationtime, a record of Black resilience has been preserved and the National Black Political Convention’s influence further affirmed.

Nationtime is released digitally via KinoLorber on 23 October.
