Cleopatra Entertainment is excited to announce the Jan 21st release of Dark Sanctuary: The Story Of The Church on Blu-ray, DVD, and digitally. Timothy Stevens produced and directed the documentary, which is about the infamous Dallas goth club and the community of artists and outsiders that called it home.
Dark Sanctuary: The Story Of The Church features interviews with influential artists cEvin Key (Skinny Puppy), Patrick Codenys (Front 242), Bill Leeb (Front Line Assembly), Paul Oakenfold, Claude S. (Anything Box), and many more.
cEvin Key co-wrote the title track for the film, which sheds light on the incredible effect this venue had on the lives of its patrons and the community that formed within it. The film also spotlights Joe Virus - the club's longtime DJ - and his journey to finding a home at the club in the early 90s through the club's closing during the pandemic, and his feelings of loss and alienation at the passing of an era.
The film has been gathering rave reviews after its official selection at the Dallas International Film Festival (USA) and the KNON Film Festival (USA) as it continues to tour the international film festival circuit throughout the remainder of this year, with upcoming additional selections to be announced soon.
Timothy Stevens comments: "We couldn't be more excited to release thru Cleopatra Entertainment given their street cred with fans of dark alternative music. The Church is the Studio 54 of goth clubs, and it's a piece of music history the world needs to know about."
A separate, stand-alone Digital Audio Soundtrack featuring original music by Joe Virus will also be released in conjunction with the film's release. Link
