How many of us remember the many nights spent scanning the broadcast wasteland in search of this oasis of entertainment? Night Flight to me was an introduction to avaunt guard film, new and fantastic types of music and videos, and the timeless Church of the Sub Genius. More than 20 years has passed but the memories have not faded. Wikipedia has a fantastic write up on the shows, it’s hard for me to call them a series. It was too free form for that. There is little chance that the shows will ever be released commercially, the copyrights issues would make them the most expensive DVDs ever produced. However, that’s not to say that you can’t find private collectors that might have a DVD or two lying about.
i loved nightflight. that set of bootleg discs looks wonderful, but it’s missing my favourite thing about nightflight – the some bizarre show! 🙁
Yeah, I remember a stop motion short called ‘Bitch of a witch’ and that’s not there either. It was pretty cool, all the live action witches were all flying brooms and to get that effect the actors kept hopping up and down while the camera operator tripped the shutter at there apex.
