VIDEO HELL
10 films in this collection
Welcome to VIDEOHELL: a season of DIY movies shot and distributed predominantly on video tape.
With the advent of video, marginalised outsider filmmakers found themselves able to shoot radical work without the prohibitive expense of film stock and large crews.
Features could be made locally, duplicated onto VHS and circulated through rental shops or mail order.
The limitations became the aesthetic - unstable colour, blunt editing, cramped locations and rough sound. Video enabled highly personal, regional and deeply peculiar work to exist outside the usual professional filters.
Director Charles Pinion presents RED SPIRIT LAKE and TWISTED ISSUES which memorably fuse horror with local punk scenes. BLONDE DEATH delivers queer Reagan-era satre via a violent lovers-on-the-run melodrama. THE BEAVER TRILOGY is a legendary oddity, an exploration of the ethics of videotaping people born out of a chance encounter in a Utah car park.
Elsewhere, G.B.H. brings video’s immediacy to British gangster cinema, while the police training tape SURVIVING EDGED WEAPONS became a cult object far removed from its original purpose. BLACK DEVIL DOLL FROM HELL and BLOODY MUSCLE BODY BUILDER IN HELL use domestic locations, non-professional production and handmade effects to realise bizarro horror far beyond their means.
REFLECTIONS OF EVIL is a deranged masterpiece shot across 16mm, Super 8 and Digital8 video which creates a feverish portrait of Los Angeles. FINAL FLESH assembles fetish commissions into an accidental science-fiction feature written by South Park creative Vernon Chatman - while CLUB LINGERIE is a cheerfully disreputable DIY slasher set at a lingerie modelling nightclub.
Films screen on VHS wherever available.

MYSTERY DOJO
1 film in this collection
Enter the 36 Chambers of Grindhouse Cinema, with these Sunday mystery martial-arts matinees that harken back to the glory days of 42nd Street.
Expect deep-cut chopsocky plucked from the 70s and 80s screening on both digital and VHS - with bone-crushing bashers from the genre that mixed Chinese folklore and fantasy, spaghetti westerns, melodrama, Japanese samurai films and American genre cinema into an electrifying combo that inspired both the future of action films - and hip hop.
These Kung Fu flicks became an international sensation in the 1970s, particularly at the Grindhouse cinemas that proliferated in impoverished inner-cities. Here were movies in which working-class heroes stood up to oppression, speaking loud and clear to the marginalised underclasses around the world.
