In New York City, at the beginning of the 1970s, one man revolutionized the way underground cinema was brought to an audience. Credited with launching midnight screenings of wild and weird films, Ben Barenholtz (1935–2019) would program his transgressive cinematic discoveries at Chelsea’s Elgin Theater into the late hours of the night, sometimes for months-long runs and typically to packed houses. His first success was with Alejandro Jodorowsky’s Acid Western:
El Topo. We'll take a look at key films and directors who have typified this genre.
