Bookending New Hollywood: Joseph Cates' WHO KILLED TEDDY BEAR? and Paul Morrissey's MIXED BLOOD
/
Gartenberg Media Enterprises is pleased to distribute new 4K restorations by Cinématographe of two seminal New York City thrillers — Joseph Cates’ WHO KILLED TEDDY BEAR? and Paul Morrissey’s MIXED BLOOD — to North American cultural institutions as Digital Site Licenses.
Released in 1965 and 1984 respectively, WHO KILLED TEDDY BEAR? and MIXED BLOOD both bookend and typify the "New Hollywood" era of the late 1960s and 1970s. Their transgressive explorations of violence, sexuality, social taboos and urban dysfunction emulate such better-known films as MIDNIGHT COWBOY (1969), THE PANIC IN NEEDLE PARK (1971), and TAXI DRIVER (1975).
