The hunt for rare movies just got easier. SIFF is thrilled to partner with Scarecrow Video's cult film column Unstreamable to bring you movies that are too wild for algorithms.
This collaboration kicked off in November 2024, with six films on the lineup over the course of several months: Harmony Korine's glue-huffing fever dream GUMMO (1997), William Friedkin's neo-noir masterpiece TO LIVE AND DIE IN L.A. (1985), the gloriously unhinged SUPER MARIO BROS. (1993), John Waters' transcendently trashy PINK FLAMINGOS (1972), and two very special secret screenings.
For years, Unstreamable has championed movies that exist beyond Netflix's reach: the weird, the wonderful, and the decidedly unmarketable. Now, these digital refugees are back where they belong, on the big screen—because some movies deserve better than a YouTube rip watched on your laptop at 2 AM.

ABOUT THE FILM
Now recognized as a landmark work of animation, Mamoru Oshii’s ANGEL'S EGG is a cryptic, allegorical masterpiece, a hypnotic collage of signs and symbols, enigmatic ideas and overwhelming emotions. Inspired in part by the work of Andrei Tarkovsky and made in collaboration with legendary illustrator Yoshitaka Amano, ANGEL'S EGG is set in a nameless, ravaged land. A young girl scours the ruins of an abandoned city searching for food, while transporting a large egg she believes contains an angel. She then encounters a young man who wishes to crack the egg open. But the plot is, in a sense, neither here nor there: The central action of ANGEL'S EGG is Oshii and Amano’s astounding imagery, conjuring the vastest of sci-fi dystopias and provocative biblical motifs. Haunting, curiously intimate, and boldly experimental, ANGEL'S EGG is perhaps Oshii’s most personal work, and a crucially important film in anime history. A GKIDS release.
4K restoration supervised by Mamoru Oshii. Colorist Noboru Yamaguchi. Mix Supervisor Kazuhiro Wakabayashi. Sound Effects Restoration Kaori Yamada. Digital Restoration Yoko Arai, Kensuke Nakamura, Eiji Yamataka, Tajima Onodera. Presented by Tokuma Shoten Publishing.
