  • Overview

    This is Deathmatch at its most raw, real, and legendary. Every summer, in a dusty field far from the spotlight, the toughest, most fearless fighters in the world gather for one purpose — to leave a piece of themselves behind in the ring. This is CZW’s Tournament of Death, the most revered Deathmatch wrestling event in America… maybe the world. This documentary is a front-row seat to the mayhem — and a deep dive into what makes this blood-soaked tradition so powerful. Featuring in-your-face footage, unfiltered interviews, and behind-the-scenes access, it captures the violent beauty and chaotic brotherhood that defines TOD. From underground icons like Mad Man Pondo, Mickie Knuckles, and Judge Joe Fred, to global deathmatch stars like Big Joe, Danny Darko, and Joel Bateman, this is where legends are carved in glass, wire, and fire.

Lucia Moholy, la photographe du Bauhaus(de)

2025-02-10

As a Bauhaus photographer, Lucia Moholy (1894-1989) was a pioneer of New Objectivity. Her husband László Moholy-Nagy was appointed to the Bauhaus in 1923. They worked there together and László became famous as the inventor of the photogram, a photo without film. Lucia's contribution to this only became known later. When the Czech-born Jew was forced to leave Germany in 1933 after the Nazis seized power, she was unable to take her most important possession, her glass negatives, with her. She struggled to keep her head above water in London and worked for the British secret service on the microfilming of valuable documents. With her vision of microfilm as freely accessible information for all, she is now regarded as a pioneer of the Internet. After the war, Lucia set out in search of her glass negatives.
