Cultpix Radio Ep.11 - Cultpix Coming to Cinemas and Mac Ahlberg's 90th

For the 11th episode of Cultpix Radio WCPX 66.6 we announce that this autumn you will be able to watch Cultpix films in cinemas, we examine the many careers of Mac Ahlberg (aka Bert Torn) and discuss new films from Klubb Super 8, the British Film Institute and Jean-Louis van Belle. Plus no technical issues it seems! Starting on 30 August there will be a monthly series of Cultpix films showing in cinemas in Sweden and abroad, which means you can meet us, fellow Cultpix members and some of the talent behind the films. We will kick off a season of double bills with newly restored versions of Anita - Swedish Nymphet and  Kyrkoherden/The Naughty Vicar at Bio Aspen in Stockholm and four other Swedish cities, as well as in cinemas abroad that we are in discussions with. Exclusive guest will be Christina Lindberg, so book your tickets as soon as they go on sale. We discuss the varied career of Mac Ahlberg, who started out as cinematographer for Swedish and Danish directors, including Bergman. you can see his Kattorna / The Cats (1965) on Cultpix.  He then made his name with the erotic I, A Woman trilogy, as well as nudies such as Fanny Hill (1968) and Around the World With Fanny Hill (1974), as well as the Second Coming of Eva (1974). Four of his more hardcore films (Molly, Flossie, Justine & Juliette and Bel Ami) will be on Cultpix later this year. Ahlberg then moved to Hollywood where he worked his way up from indie films such as Re-Animator and From Beyond  to big productions such as Innocent Blood, Beverly Hills Cop III and Striking Distance, as well as the Michael Jackson video Black and White. He directed two films, of which Hoodlums (1980) can be streamed on Cultpix. Sadly Ahlberg did not seem proud or keen to talk about his Swedish directing career and we debate whether it impacted his later work as DoP. Lots of new films on the site this week, including two from the British Film Institute: Sleepwalker (1984) and Voice Over (1981). We complete the Language of Love series with The XYZ of Love (1971). The first of legendary Swedish director Hans Hatwig's two films is on Cultpix, so watch the horror classic The Bleeder / Blödaren (1983) now and later this year Gröna gubbar från Y.R./Green Men from Outer Space (1986). Finally we have four films from maverick Belgian auteur Jean-Louis van Belle'sstrange, stylish and wonderful movies from the early 70’s: Forbidden Paris/Paris Interdit (1970), The Lady Kills/Perverse et docile (1971),  Pervertissima (1972) and The Sadist with Red Teeth/Le sadique aux dents rouges (1971). Finally we tease you with a first episode of 13 Demon Street, Condemned in the Crystal (1959). While we will have a brief summer break, there is one more episode to go with an extended interview with the amazing Lisa Petrucci of Something Weird Video. So be sure not to miss the Cultpix Radio WCPX 66.6 finale next week!
