Milestone Films is pleased to announce the much–anticipated Milestone Cinematheque DVD release of Kent Mackenzie’s
THE EXILES. With hours of bonus features and hundreds of documents from the files of the late Kent Mackenzie, it
could very well be the DVD release of the year.
THE EXILES chronicles one night in the lives of young Native American men and women living in the Bunker Hill
district of Los Angeles. Based entirely on interviews with the participants and their friends, the film follows a group
of exiles — transplants from Southwest reservations — as they flirt, drink, party, fight, and dance.
THE EXILES was completed in 1961 and though well received at a few festivals, it was never theatrically release and
rarely seen for nearly fifty years. With UCLA Film & Television Archive’s magnificent restoration and Milestone’s 2008
release, The Exiles stunned the film world. It introduced a filmmaker of incredible talent and insight. Gritty,
realistic, beautifully photographed, energized by the brilliant rock ’n’ roll score by Norman Knowles and The Revels,
The Exiles is a cinematic miracle.
This will be the first Milestone Cinematheque release in our distribution deal with Oscilloscope Laboratories.
