So excited about this one!
Fri 8th/ 8pm/ £5
This month we are delving into the foggy, often confusing hinterland of hypnagogic Shot-On-Video films. In the early 80s, film makers were no longer at the mercy of powerful distributors and studios – affordable video technology meant that any sexpest or backyard-oddball could make and self-release their vision onto the unsuspecting public.
We are super excited to bring a double-bill of these highly potent slices of outsider art to the big screen! Our main feature is Canuxploitation classic “Things” (Barry J. Gillis, 1989) - an intoxicating mess of monsters, sandwich making, unrelated news reports and confusion. Our warm-up film is as singularly demented, also having the honour of being the first SOV film to be released in Stateside theatres back in 1982.
This double-bill will flip a switch in your brain – once witnessed, it may be difficult for you to tune in to normal multiplex culture again…
In the bar HFVC DJs will be playing a woozy, synth-heavy selection of half- tunes and unpop.
