Description

No one will ever make movies like Doris Wishman made movies. One of the most prolific women filmmakers in the history of American cinema, writer-director-editor Wishman created collisions between surrealism and exploitation that feel like they materialized from an alternate universe. THE FILMS OF DORIS WISHMAN: THE DAYLIGHT YEARS surveys the early, sun-soaked nudist era of Wishman's career. From NUDE ON THE MOON (Wishman's dreamlike sci-fi triumph) to HIDEOUT IN THE SUN (a crackpot nudie-noir) AGFA + Something Weird are honored to present these effervescent DIY treasures in gorgeous new restorations.

    Great Collection of Early Films

    While these early nudist films lack the intrigue of the films she would make later, it is truly a delight to see the crisp transfer of restored films.

    More 60s exploitation oddities

    Pretty much what you'd expect: super cheap, weirdly paced, but a fun watch if you like obscure drive-in stuff.
