The American Genre Film Archive (AGFA) has struck a theatrical partnership with Troma Entertainment, the 47-year-old independent film studio behind such cult classics as The Toxic Avenger and Class of Nuke ‘Em High, it was announced today. Under the deal, AGFA will distribute 70 films from the Troma library to movie theaters.
“From CLASS OF NUKE ‘EM HIGH to COMBAT SHOCK, the Troma catalog is like a guidebook of essential genre film history from the past forty years,” said AGFA creative director Joe Ziemba in a statement. “One of my fondest movie memories from childhood was renting THE TOXIC AVENGER on VHS at a sleepover and completely losing my mind — we’re grateful for the opportunity to replicate that feeling in theaters.”
Among the Troma films being reissued by AGFA are The Toxic Avenger, Def By Temptation, The Children and Cannibal! The Musical from South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone. The films are available on DCP, and, in some cases, 35mm, for theatrical bookings immediately.
Today’s announcement follows similar distribution partnerships AGFA has signed with Arrow Films, Multicom, Severin Films, Shout! Factory and Vinegar Syndrome.
