Twenty-five 35 mm feature films from Aquarius Releasing, a motion picture
distributor based in the Selwyn Theater Building in New York City, owned by Terry
Levene. Aquarius Releasing was active from the late 1960s to the video era of the
1980s, and specialized in the distribution of genre cinema, ranging from pornography
to horror to kung fu films, making a name for itself handling the release of Deep Throat during its most controversial days. While
this collection does not include every film Aquarius released, the films provide a
representative example of the distributor's output.
