UPDATE! Goals have been revised to be more realistic as we are offering fewer perks this time. We need you to share this and raise towards £25,000 so we can afford the best quality remastering.
Following on from the success of 2015’s Italian Restoration Project project we’re back with part deux!
This time the goal is to remaster 2 classic Italian exploitation films in 2K resolution!
11 Days, 11 Nights (1987), Dir Joe D'Amato
Beatrice Cenci aka The Conspiracy of Torture (1969). Dir Lucio Fulci
HOWEVER this will be a very expensive project so we need YOUR help.
Organising a project like this is always a big gamble and this time we want you to join in the gamble…..
So here’s the plan....

OUR PLAN
Goal 1: We raise £12,500 and long overlooked early Lucio Fulci classic, BEATRICE CENCI and the Steamy and sweaty Erotic classic from the brain of Joe D'Amato, ELEVEN DAYS, ELEVEN NIGHTS gets restored and remastered from their original camera negatives in 2K, with English and Italian audio tracks, plus newly created English subtitles.
Goal 2: We raise £30,000 so we can produce fantastic extra features for both films. These will include brand new, in-depth featurettes and new audio commentaries by genre experts. These extras will be produced to the high standards associated with 88 Films extras work. Additionally your blu-rays will come in a beautifully designed, printed, numbered slipcases. They will also include minimum 40 page booklet with multiple written contributions. These will be limited to 1000 copies only, so first come first serve.
Goal 3: We raise £40,000 so we can remaster a FIRST MYSTERY film in 2K for you
WHERE YOUR MONEY GOES
Assuming we can reach £25,000, this is where your money will be spent:
Money Raised, £25,000.
1. 20% VAT = £4166.67 (Boohoo!!!)
2. 5% Indiegogo Fee = £1250.00
3. 3% Payment Gateway Fee = 750
4. BBFC Fees Approx £750 each
That leaves approximately £8,500 each to Scan in 2K to DPX, grade and restore, frame correctly and process and synch audio which should be JUST enough to achieve the desired results which are to produce the highest quality HD masters that are as close as possible to what the directors intended.

ABOUT THE FILMS
BEATRICE CENCI![]()
Tomas Milian (Syndicate Sadists), Adrienne Laurussa (The Man Who Fell to Earth) and Georges Wilson (Don't Torture a Duckling) co-star in this brutal re-telling of the Cenci Family. The film depicts the horrific events that led to the demise of one of Italy’s most prestigious families, through two timelines we establish how, and why, this much-loved family were sent to the guillotine in 1599. Based on the tragic true story, Beatrice Cenci (A.K.A The Conspiracy of Torture) shook Italy to its very core upon release in 1969 thanks to its strong condemnation of the Catholic church and set Lucio Fulci on a collision course with the graphic violence that would become synonymous with his most popular works.

Considered by Fulci himself to be his finest cinematic work, 88 Films are proud to unveil the prized possession within a legendary career. Prepare to witness the birth of the Godfather of Gore, finally uncut, uncensored and unleashed for the very first time in the UK!

11 DAYS, 11 NIGHTS
![]()
Please notes, our source is the "hard" version never before seen in UK so this will be the hardest version ever available.
"Michael Terenzi: Where are your panties?
Sarah Asproon: I ate them."
From Joe D’Amato (Emanuelle and the Last Cannibals) comes the first instalment in his most successful franchise, 11 Days, 11 Nights. Jessica Moore (A.K.A Luciana Ottaviani), stars as the libertine author Sarah Asproon, a young woman under pressure from her publisher to deliver her autobiographical book on her steamy conquests - all 100 of them. Yuppie Michael (Joshua Mc Donald), just happens to be in the right place at the wrong time and is soon pulled into the hedonistic world of Sarah Asproon… but at what cost?

Co-written by frequent D’Amato collaborators, Claudio Fragasso and Rossella Drudi (Troll 2), 11 Days, 11 Nights proved to be much more than the 9 ½ Weeks rip-off it was intended to be and become a worldwide VHS sensation upon release with a legacy that can still be felt today. 88 Films are proud to present the film in it's hardest version ever in the UK!

ABOUT 88 FILMS
88 Films has long become the favoured British distributor for those who like unpretentious and unapologetically outrageous entertainment.

Richard Elliott, co-director of 88 Films says: “88 Films is delighted to dips its metaphorical toes into the wet-gate of restoration again. After the success of our first Italian Restoration project we have been itching to come back and do it again, we just had to find the right films first. The only way to do the definitive releases is to go back to the Italian licensors and do a deal for all the original materials to access the negatives and get them remastered properly. Because we're a 2 man small company we can't afford to do this without YOUR HELP to raise the money for the amazing editors we want to release of these films.
Fellow director James Blower adds: “We are so passionate to release both Beatrice Cenci and 11 Days, 11 Nights in the highest quality since their original completion. The Italian Collection is the jewel in the crown of our catalogue and we take creating stunning new editions very seriously. However that costs so please do help us out!.
