NADJA - DIRECTOR'S CUT
Merging elements from DRACULA’S DAUGHTER with André Breton’s surrealist novel “Nadja,” and fusing shimmering black-and-white 35mm film with hallucinatory Pixelvision video, Michael Almereyda’s (TESLA, EXPERIMENTER, HAMLET) acclaimed cult film — executive produced by David Lynch — centers on New York-based vampire Nadja (Elina Löwensohn) as she draws close to her twin brother, Edgar (Jared Harris), following their father’s death at the hands of Dr. Van Helsing (Peter Fonda). Edgar’s private nurse (Suzy Amis), Van Helsing’s nephew Jim (Martin Donovan) and Jim’s wife (Galaxy Craze) are entangled in the story as the vampire killer pursues “the fiend” from Manhattan to Transylvania.

release. Laboratory services by OCN Labs, Five Seventy Films, Ben Gilbert Films, David Ferron
and Blackhawk Films. Special thanks to Michael Almereyda and Absurda.
