The Atomic Cafe – Press Kit.Pdf
THE ATOMIC CAFE A film by Kevin Rafferty, Jayne Loader and Pierce Rafferty 1982 / U.S. / 86 min. / In English ** Official Selection SXSW 2018/New 4K Restoration** Press materials: https://www.kinolorber.com/film/theatomiccafe Distributor Contact: Kino Lorber 333 W. 39th Street New York, NY 10018 (212) 629-6880 Sales: Jonathan Hertzberg, [email protected] Publicity: David Ninh, [email protected] Synopsis Armageddon has never been so darkly funny as in The Atomic Cafe. This 1982 cult classic juxtaposes Cold War history, propaganda, music and culture, seamlessly crafted from government-produced educational and training films, newsreels and advertisements. Taken together, these sources instruct the public on how to live in the Atomic Age, how to survive a nuclear attack, how to fight and win a nuclear war. As a U.S. Army training film advises, "Viewed from a safe distance, the atomic bomb is one of the most beautiful sights ever seen by man." In 2016, the film was selected for preservation in the United States' National Film Registry by the Library of Congress, being deemed "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant". Returning to theaters in a sparkling 4K digital restoration created by IndieCollect (where it newly screened for the first time for SXSW audiences in March, 2018), The Atomic Cafe is an absurdist blast from the past. THE DIRECTORS Pierce Rafferty: Following the release of The Atomic Cafe in 1982, Pierce Rafferty co-founded Petrified Films, an independent stock footage library located in the Meat Market District, New York City. From 1984 to 1994, Petrified's holdings grew exponentially to include various corporate in-house libraries, including those of Warner Bros. -
