The Q&A was conducted after the Toronto Premiere screening of Synapse Film’s gorgeous 4K restoration of Dario Argento’s Suspiria (1977).

The podcast is available on iTunes, Google Play, Libsyn, and YouTube.

Bookending the podcast are some thoughts on the show, plus details on the upcoming screening of Dante’s Inferno (1911), to which Guarini will be performing his original score live at the Royal on Dec. 6, 2017. I interviewed Guarini back in April, and reviewed the restored silent classic.

Also of note: starting today, I’m making available for 1 week of free streaming via Vimeo and YouTube my experimental documentary BSV 1172: Your Friendly Neighbourhood Video Store (2016), as a salute Video Store Day, Sat. Oct. 21, 2017. A home video release will follow in late January, 2018.
