Z Channel - A Magnificent Obsession
In the 1980s, ‘Z Channel’ was a trailblazing TV station that reached an obsessive audience who were ravenous for movie experiences beyond the limitations of mainstream cinema. ‘Z Channel’, known simply as ‘Z’ to its fans, gave a home to previously neglected indie, classic and arthouse movies, as well as providing a platform for unseen directors cuts and uniquely themed on-air film festivals.
Xan Cassavetes’ compelling and poignant documentary celebrates the historic influence of ‘Z’ and chronicles the brilliant but troubled life of Jerry Harvey, the visionary programmer behind ‘Z’ and friend and champion to now legendary filmmakers and works.

Boring Hasbeens
The move crawls round some former trend setters in the US tv world who caused a stir 20 years ago. No-one is interested unless they were tv buffs and the brave new world then has been surpassed by standard tv of today. As a bedtime movie, it sure beat cocoa!
