Taking its name from the Lumière Brothers invention of the same name, Cinématographe is a new sub-label from Vinegar Syndrome that seeks to fill gaps in the canon of American cinema. Offering a mix of auteur driven studio films produced during the New Hollywood era of the late 1960s and 70s all the way through the indie boom of the 1980s and 90s, Cinématographe will explore the wide breadth of American moviemaking, spanning numerous genres and scales of production. Curated and produced by Vinegar Syndrome's Justin LaLiberty, each limited edition release will be housed in a specially designed, cloth-bound, media book with embossed foil titles and custom molded disc trays accompanied by a slipcase featuring newly commissioned art and an individually numbered J-card.
Max (co-writer Guinevere Turner) a young, lesbian, college student living in Chicago is in aromantic dry spell. Her roommate Kia (T. Wendy McMillan), sets Max up with Ely (V.S. Brodie), an older woman that Max initially dismisses but ultimately falls for, until it's revealed that Ely may already be committed.
An integral film of the 90s American indie boom, and a staple of queer cinema for three decades, Rose Troche’s (Bedrooms and Hallways, TV’s The L-Word) refreshingly honest, romantic comedy/drama GO FISH is an admirably DIY portrait of community and connection set in the bustling metropolis of early 90s Chicago. Shot in 16mm black and white and featuring a cast of largely unprofessional actors, GO FISH feels as indebted to the style and structure of documentary as it does other American indie narratives. Cinématgoraphe is proud to present Rose Troche’s now iconic portrait of queer identity in a brand new 4K restoration from its original 16mm negatives for its world blu-ray debut.

"Great film, but this release is a prime example of why reimagined covers can be a bad idea. The art on this is terrible, almost offensively so. I can't imagine anyone that was actually involved in the production of this film actually thinking it looks good. A shame."
"The kind of indie cinema I miss these days, with a minimalist and human approach that seems to resonate deeply with the viewer. One of my favorite cinematographe outings."
"Lesbian romance drama flick. Cinematography is reminiscent of other films like Clerks. Neat fictional portrayal of lesbian relationships in the early 90s. Comes with extras and as usual there is nighty artwork on the case."
"Good film, nice representation of queer cinema."
"The movie was good, nice packing and transfer"
"charming indie romantic comedy offers a refreshingly honest, DIY slice-of-life look at a tight-knit community of lesbians in early 90s Chicago."
"impressive presentation of this film"
"Yet another one I've purchased blind and I'm excited to check out. I watched the trailer and I know I like stories like this, plus I'm always enticed if Cinematographe puts it out."
"Charming and enjoyable"
"Fun black and white LGBTQ story that is a nice surprise for fans of shows like The L Word"
