Unearthed Films hosted a three-day exhibit for A Serbian Film in Los Angeles May 18-21, which was called “the ultimate fan experience.” It included a rarely seen one-time screening of the uncut 104 minute version of the film, newly restored in 4K, a Q&A with director Srdjan Spasojevic, and VIP after-party. In addition, props and wardrobe items were showcased and available for purchase on eBay beginning May 18.
Available on eBay were 255 original storyboard pages, all signed by Spasojevic, special FX items, screenplays, costumes, and props of heads, bodies, machetes, and…wait for it…”The Baby.” Yes, THAT baby. However, the auction has been banned, which isn’t too shocking for those familiar with the film.
Stephen Biro of Unearthed Films released the following statement:
The “A Serbian Film Auction” has been put on HOLD due to eBay taking all of the listings down. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. We have been on the phone with eBay staff and management about this for the past 3 days but, despite our appeals, their position is that they want nothing to do with A Serbian Film. They have even refused to sell the costumes, stuffed toys and well, you know, the other stuff.
We have decided to resolve the situation by setting up our own online auction site; a place where the eBay thought police will be unable to enforce their narrow-minded morality test. We have decided that there will be no more misguided corporate interference in the choice of items that we put on sale. It is important to us that our customers are allowed the freedom to purchase items without eBay looking over their shoulder and making decisions for them.
We will have the new auction site up and active within the next week on the A Serbian Exhibition website at: aserbianexhibition.com
We are happy to announce that the gallery exhibition and screening at Lethal Amounts and the Downtown Independent theater was a roaring success and we thank everyone who attended. The storyboard pages and posters (only a few left) are still up for sale on eBay and the props, costumes and other items will be back up for sale shortly.
For you super fans out there, fear not. You still have a chance to take home a piece of horror film history from one of the most controversial films ever made. Just visit aserbianexhibition.com to check it all out.
