We are proud to announce an amazing and long-awaited event, 25 years in the making. In 1999, our pal Kevin Smith and some friends released DOGMA to the masses, which has become a grade-A cult classic over the years. The film has been stuck in limbo due to rights issues, but last year, those rights have now reverted back to Kevin Smith and his team. This film was only available through physical media from old DVD and Blu-ray releases in the 2000s (predating streaming rights). Now with the film available once again, Kevin Smith is happy to offer the special 25th anniversary 4K remastered re-release of DOGMA: Resurrected! A 25^th Anniversary Celebration for the original audience to see on the big screen – and for a new generation of fans to experience it for the first time in movie theatres. 

This release will offer special bonus content, featuring Q&A highlights of Smith and friends from appearances being filmed later this month. We would love for you to join this celebration of Kevin’s favorite film in his repertoire!

DOGMA is a satirical fantasy comedy that follows two fallen angels, Bartleby and Loki, who discover a loophole that would allow them to return to Heaven, which would inadvertently undo the creation of the universe. A woman named Bethany, who is struggling with her faith, is tasked with stopping them before their plan succeeds. Along the way, she is joined by various characters, including a muse, a seraphim, and a group of unlikely allies, all as they battle against the forces of heaven and hell. A genuine cult-classic, DOGMA combines dark humor, theological questions, and absurdity to explore topics of faith, redemption, and religious mythology.

“Deliriously funny!” (Hollywood Reporter)

“Dogma is a raucous, profane but surprisingly endearing piece of work, a funny and lively film of ideas.” (Los Angeles Times)
