NoShame’s mission was to bring new life into hard-to-find classics and Italian genre films. Special screenings with filmmakers was presented in selected cities to promote theatrical re-releases of some of the most important films. NoShame Films’ devotion to Italian cinema was extrodinary and missed are the passion they put into each release with huge amounts of extra material. NoShame went bust April 2008.
