Andrew Horn (co-writer/producer of East Side Story) directs the documentary The Nomi Song, a portrait of late German artist Klaus Nomi. Born in Bavaria during the '40s, Nomi was a trained opera singer who became an underground cult figure in New York City during the '70s. Fancifully dressed in black-and-white costumes, Nomi performed unique cabaret shows and earned a small but loyal fan base. He made recordings, appeared in films, and even sang for commercials. He was building up a career in Europe when he fell ill. He died in 1983 of an AIDS-related infection. The documentary includes interviews with actress Ann Magnuson, art director Page Wood, and photographer Anthony Scibelli. The Nomi Song won the Teddy Award at the 2004 Berlin Film Festival. ~ Andrea LeVasseur, Rovi

A handful of teenagers grow up fast when they end up behind bars in this low-budget action drama. Marina (Teresa Farley) was carrying a cache of heroin for her no-good boyfriend when she was arrested during a drug raid. Lori (Carey Zuris) killed the boy she was dating when he tried to force her to participate in a gang-bang. Runaway Paige (Natalie O'Connell) had only been in New York City for a few hours when she was busted for prostitution after being hired to act in a porn film. These three young women are shipped off to the New York Female Juvenile Reformatory, where heavily accented warden Miss Madison (Marita) and her guards struggle to keep their young charges in line. While Marina, Lori and Paige are victims of circumstance, many of their fellow inmates are hardened criminals despite their youth, and drugs, in-fighting and sexual assault are just part of an ordinary day. Also starring Jennifer Delora and Rick Gianasi, Bad Girls Dormitory was written and directed by Tim Kincaid, who had previously directed a number of celebrated gay porn films under the name Joe Gage. Keep an eye peeled during the first shower scene and you'll discover this is the world's only juvenile detention facility that gets its towels from Holiday Inn. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi
