  • "Looks at the making and impact of 1970s low budget films including Night of the Living Dead, El Topo, Pink Flamingos, The Harder They Come, The Rocky Horror Picture Show and Eraserhead. Directors, writers, actors, producers, exhibitors, distributors and viewers contribute."
  • ""Un documentaire original qui explore le parcours de six films cultes des années soixante-dix. Entre 1970 et 1977, ces six films à petit budget, montrés aux séances de minuit, ont influencé la manière de faire et de voir les films, ils ont réinventé le médium en dépassant les frontières du mauvais goût et des tabous sociaux. Assister aux "films de minuit" est devenu un marqueur social, intellectuel, cinéphilique et culturel, un rite de passage pour toute une jeune génération en crise."--[allociné.fr]. Avec John Waters, David Lynch, Roger Ebert, George Romero, Richard O'Brien, Alejandro Jodorowsky, J. Hoberman, Perry Henzell."

  • "Between 1970 and 1977, six low budget films shown at midnight transformed the way we make and watch movies: The allegorical freak-out "El topo," the graphic horror of "Night of the living dead," the outrageous filth fest "Pink flamingos," outlaw reggae's "The harder they come," the phenomenal "Rocky horror picture show," and the darkly disturbing "Eraserhead." Discover the stories behind the movies that defied mainstream America to change the world of cinema forever, featuring startling clips, rare archival footage and revealing interviews with the films' directors, distributors, exhibitors and supporters."
  • "From the Margin to the Mainstream tells the hidden history of these landmark films, El Topo (1970), Night of the Living Dead (1968), The Harder They Come (1973), Pink Flamingos (1972), The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975), and Eraserhead (1977). The documentary includes in-depth interviews with the directors, producers, writers and actors who were part of these low-budget, yet monumental productions, the exhibitors and distributors who played them, and the audiences who viewed them."@en
