Overview
Born from the ashes of punk, the goth tribe has been evolving rapidly for 30 years. This subculture, initially niche, has grown into a social phenomenon that is flourishing around the world. In Europe, the community includes tens of thousands of people. Marilyn Manson fills concert halls, Jean-Paul Gaultier draws inspiration from gothic aesthetics for his collections, Tim Burton incorporates the movement's codes into his films... Yet the goth community remains relatively unknown. Media coverage of the phenomenon has often been content to perpetuate clichés, without revealing its richness. For over a year, the directors of this documentary traveled to Paris, Strasbourg, and across the Rhine to meet with goths. Over the past decade, Germany has become the center of gravity for this movement.

National Vampire
National Vampire is a feature-length documentary that explores vampire culture in the United States. To achieve this, the filmmakers spent more than two years traveling around the country, attending vampire-related events, and interviewing dozens of people involved in the vampire community. Shooting locations include a Vampire’s Ball held in New Orleans each Halloween, a vampire tour of San Francisco, and a New York City shop that “transforms” people into vampires. Also featured are a vampire “dentist” who makes fangs for a living, vampire role playing gamers in Dayton, Ohio, a vampire-themed magician, and a bloodthirsty Texas couple that claims to be the real thing. Going beyond the surface, National Vampire also explores a number of subcultures that overlap the vampire community, including the goth music scene, bondage and S&M, and blood fetishists who take part in piercing and full-body suspension rituals.
