About
A celebration of the legendary producer-director Roger Corman (1926-2024), one of the doyens of American independent filmmaking and a master of the unforgettable B-Movie.
Over a career that stretched across eight decades, Corman found acclaim for both his work as director — particularly his 'Poe cycle', a series of eight sumptuously realised films each adapting different tales by Edgar Allan Poe — and as a producer who mentored some of Hollywood's brightest talents in their formative years.
This program brings together the complete 'Poe cycle', alongside a selection of his other significant directorial efforts and some of the key Corman-produced early works by such major filmmakers as Martin Scorsese, Francis Ford Coppola and Peter Bogdanovich that paved the way for the iconic New Hollywood movement.
QAGOMA acknowledges the generous assistance of the National Film and Sound Archive of Australia, Canberra; the American Genre Film Archive, Austin; and the Academy Film Archive, Los Angeles in providing materials for this program. Program curated by Robert Hughes, Australian Cinémathèque.
