Arrow Video is excited to announce the March 2024 lineup of their subscription-based ARROW platform, available to subscribers in the US, Canada, the UK and Ireland. Embrace March Madness with a selection of new titles, from shorts by new talent to deep dives into filmmakers that changed cinema forever.

Also on March 1st, head back to ARROW’s film school with a trio of Paul Joyce documentaries about iconic filmmakers: Dirk Bogarde: By Myself Parts 1 & 2 (UK/ IRE/ US/CA): a two part interview in which Dirk Bogarde talks about his life and decades-long career, his transitions from heartthrob to icon of edginess, from leading man of the British Box office to novelist and director. In Nagisa Oshima: The Man Who Left His Soul on Film (UK/ IRE/ US/CA): a profile of Japanese filmmaker Nagisha Oshima explores the pioneer of the Japanese New Wave whose boundary-pushing output is chronicled through interviews with Paul Mayersberg, Donald Richie, Roger Pulvers and Oshima himself.
On March 8th, Keep the Faith (UK/ IRE/ US/CA). When all manner of unholy terrors and calamities are out to get you, all you can do is Keep the Faith.

Titles Include: The Righteous, Black Rainbow, Crimes of Passion.
Also on March 8, ARROW continues its commitment to showcasing short films from emerging talent, with Ciarán Hickey’s sci-fi horror Terrible Things, Alex Baro-Cayetano’s unnerving chiller Keith, Drew Maxwell Weiss’s stalker story The Anatomy Maestro, and Ryan Irving’s twisted comedy horror Bark (all UK/ IRE/ US/CA).

“Putting together this list of my recommended ARROW favourites has been a bloody delight…. but also presented me with a massive dilemma. I haven’t felt such indecision to pick since the heady and good old ‘nasty’ days of browsing lurid VHS video covers In a proper independent video shop! And now I find myself back in a beautifully arcane store with a superlative horror and cult film section…how the hell do I pick favourites out of a selection this great?
So, after hours of browsing the endless treats on offer, I’ve somehow managed to boil it down. So if you also aren’t quite sure what to pick, then here’s my cross-section recommendations of stone-cold classics; video nasty gorey mayhem: retro thrills and some bizarre mind-expanding cult delights that range from brutal to hilarious, and classy to trashy. I love ‘em all! So if you’re looking for guidance or just want to take a chance you really can’t go wrong with any of these…” Titles Include: The Navigator: A Mediaeval Odyssey, The Red Queen Kills 7 Times, Switchblade Sisters.
On March 15th, ARROW unveils their Spring collection with Fashion Victims (UK/ IRE/ US/CA). Fashion Victims sees the models and photographers of the hottest fashions fall victim to the cruelest killers. This season’s killer looks are all here and ready to wear, but are you ready to dare start watching? Titles Include: Crimes of Passion, There’s Always Vanilla, Swap Nude for Your Killer.
On March 22, subscribers Must Be Losing It (UK/ IRE/ US/CA). Must Be Losing It is a collection of films that are losing their grip on reality. When the lines are blurred, your mind is reeling, it feels like they’re coming to get you and you can no longer tell the difference between what is real and what is not – you Must Be Losing It. Titles Include: Naked Lunch, The Third Eye, Laguna Ave.
