- During the '35th Cannes International Film Festival' (14th-26th May 1982), German director Wim Wenders asked a sample of 15 other international film directors to get, each one at a time, into the same hotel room to answer in solitude the same question about the future of cinema, while they were filmed with a 16mm camera and recorded with a Nagra sound recorder. In social sciences the goal of standardization is that each person is exposed to the same question experience, and that the recording setting of answers is the same, too, so that any differences in the answers can be correctly interpreted as reflecting differences between persons rather than differences in the process that produced the answer. The wide sampling frame in "Room 666" included European 'auteurs' and Hollywood directors, narrative and experimental filmmakers, male and female professional film directors that presented their films or were simply present at the 35th Cannes Festival in May 1982. The directors came from France, Italy, Brazil, Lebanon, Germany, Turkey, the Philippines and the USA. This unique documentary shows the complete footage (or selected parts) of the 15 answers that resulted from this 'standardized survey interviews'. The historical value of "Room 666" has increased over time: The 5 directors Rainer Werner Fassbinder, Yilmaz Güney, Maroun Bagdadi, Robert Kramer and Michelangelo Antonioni have died since then in this order. Fassbinder died only a few weeks later on June 10th 1982 and gave his last 'interview' in "Room 666".

- Several years before Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez conceived "Grindhouse" as an homage to drive-in movies, Rick Montana and exploitation great Dave Friedman developed the idea to do just that with two "creature features". Thus "Search for the Beast" and "Return of the Beast" were born. They are not "Matrix" or any other multi-million dollar special effects epic. "Return of the Beast" was created to be a drive-in movie feature and succeeds on every level. It is a humorous, racey, redneck romp, filled with hungry hillbilly cannibals, bountiful boobage, tumultuous tittillation, and awesome aardvarking! It's best seen with your best girl in the back seat of a '62 Chevy at the drive-in, through fogged up windows. Dr. Heather Fine receives a grant to fund an expedition to the Okaloosa Wilderness to search for an unidentified "beast". First she hires a detective to find the elusive Dr. David Stone who led an earlier expedition to the same area and barely made it out alive. In the meantime, cannibal hillbillies and their hairy cousin "the beast", kidnap anyone who ventures into their neck of the woods. Enter Candy Carr, an ex-marine who works her way into the expedition with a hidden agenda to hunt down and kill the beast. She is aided by a crew of "tough jabronis" who meet her deep in the Okaloosa wilderness. After a fight with a wandering lost soul, "Stupid", the gang begins to fall apart as the Beast and the cannibal hillbillies kill them one by one. Will anyone make it out alive?
