During the last edition of the Fantasia Film Festival, New Zealand filmmaker David Blyth was in Montreal to host a special presentation of his documentaries on fetishism. While in town, the director behind cult favorites Death Warmed Up ! and Red Blooded American Girl was nice enough to give me a copy of Angel Mine, his first feature film, a strange and unique love story he produced at the tender age of 22 years old.

I’m baaaack. Not since four years ago, the first time we started the Fantasia blog has anyone had to do the coverage solo, so props to McCannibal for keeping the train rolling last week. It’s a tough job fitting in two, three, and sometimes four films a day, choking down a grease laden meal, drinking the skuzzy yeasty swill that is all you can get after leeching a beer ticket or two off of Mitch, and heading home at midnight to start writing.

Remember the 1985 flick Death Warmed Up? About a kid who was hypnotized to kill his parents, then grew up to take revenge on the scientists who ruined his life? Some may have wondered what happened to Death director David Blyth after that film, and if you’re one of ‘em, we have good news: He’s coming to this year’s Fantasia so you can ask him yourself!

When the official Fantasia 2008 schedule goes live tomorrow, on it you will see two films from Blyth as part of Fantasia’s Documentaries From the Edge series: Transfigured Nights (about webcam mask performance(?)) and Bound for Pleasure (focusing on New Zealand’s suburban B&D scene). As the titles should tip you off, the docs focus on the strange yet fascinating world of fetishism, and Fantasia’s newest programmer, Simon Laperriere, brought both to Montreal for their North American premiere.
