Ed Glaser
Ed Glaser is a filmmaker and film historian who explores what happens when stories move. As they travel across borders and through time, they are translated, reinterpreted, misunderstood, rediscovered, and sometimes transformed into something entirely new.
Those unexpected journeys are at the heart of much of his work. Glaser is the author of How the World Remade Hollywood: Global Interpretations of 65 Iconic Films and creator of the award-winning video series Deja View. He also completed the first 2K restoration and reconstruction of The Man Who Saves the World (1982), better known as “Turkish Star Wars,” from its only surviving 35mm theatrical print.
His original films and series approach the same themes from another direction. Rather than tracing the evolution of existing works, they reshape familiar genres in surprising ways.
Neon Harbor
Neon Harbor began as a home for Glaser’s independent productions and gradually grew into something broader. Today it serves as a single place for his creative work, historical research, preservation projects, and ongoing explorations of world cinema and popular culture.
The name remains intentionally a little atmospheric. Visitors are welcome to interpret it however they like.
