Slava Tsukerman, a Russian-born filmmaker whose 1982 feature, “Liquid Sky,” in which heroin-hungry aliens immerse themselves in the neon glow of Manhattan’s New Wave art scene, became a cult classic that helped reshape independent filmmaking in America, died on Feb. 28 at his home in Manhattan. He was 86.

His wife and longtime producer and collaborator, Nina Kerova, said the cause was heart failure.
