BFI Flipside presents
DUFFER + THE MOON OVER THE ALLEY (DVD + Blu-ray)
Two films by Joseph Despins and William Dumaresq
THE FLIPSIDE: rescuing weird and wonderful British films from obscurity and presenting them in new high-quality editions.
An intense and bizarre study of obsession that is by turns lyrical and disconcerting, Duffer tells the deranged story of a teenage boy torn between the womanly charms of a kindly prostitute, and the relentless, sadistic attentions of an older man.
The Moon Over the Alley, from the writer-director team behind Duffer, explores the problems of the multicultural residents in a Notting Hill boarding house. Dark and disturbing, yet dreamlike and tender, this astonishing film includes surreal musical numbers by the award-winning composer of Hair, Galt MacDermot.
Unique and utterly compelling, these rarely seen cult films have been newly mastered to HD and are released here for the very first time
Special Features

- Fully Illustrated booklet with newly commissioned essays by Stephen Thrower and Rob Young, and Joseph Despins personal recollections of making the two films

Product Description
Unique and utterly compelling, these rarely-seen films are released here for the very first time. Duffer, an intense and bizarre study of obsession that is by turns beautiful and disturbing, tells the story of a teenage boy torn between the womanly charms of a kindly prostitute, and the sadistic attentions of an older man.Both whimsical and disturbing, with a quirky sense of the grotesque, Duffer is a film that defies easy comparison. The Moon Over the Alley equally unconventional is a musical tale of the problems faced by the multicultural residents of a ramshackle boarding house, with magic realist musical numbers by Galt MacDermot, the award-winning musician and composer of Broadway hit Hair.The Moon Over the Alley captures the human energy and community spirit of London s Portobello Road with a wit, strangeness and charm. Extra Features: Two feature films, each presented in both High Definition and Standard Definition; Fully illustrated booklet with newly commissioned essays by Stephen Thrower and Rob Young, and Joseph Despins personal recollections of making the two films
