Unapologetically weird cinema.

Always free to stream.

Starting this month, Kino Cult revives the spirit of the double-bill by introducing new films to its library in curated pairings.

Sept. 8: A Date With “Angel”

Sept. 15: Pete Walker’s Genre Busters

Sept. 22: Colonialists’ Nightmares

Sept. 29: Cinema du Sasquatch

September 1: Jess Franco’s Strange Obsessions

Vampyros Lesbos

A nobleman and his two lovers – a teenage boy and a runaway nun – plan to kill his wife.

September 8: A Date With “Angel”

Recently rediscovered (and restored by the UCLA Film & Television Archive), Mamba is an early color film in which British and German colonists in East Africa are overwhelmed by an indigenous uprising.
