Reborn

A stillborn baby girl is abducted from hospital by a morgue attendant and brought back to life using electrokinetic power. On her sixteenth birthday she escapes her captor and sets out to find her birth mother leaving a trail of destruction behind her. 'CARRIE meets FIRESTARTER' is a nice comparison, and lead actress BARBARA CRAMPTON delivers a remarkable performance and Julian Richards (JINGA FILMS) directs.

cyborg

A young woman is locked inside a mental institution. She receives tender care and has nice friends - everything is fine, except she doesn't want to eat, since cyborgs don't need food. Along comes ping-pong playing Il-sun, who falls for the cute robot girl.
Park (OLD BOY) delivers the same inventiveness and intensity as in his previous films, but adds a romantic, fairy-tale like dimension.
The world is totally crazy, but as long as everyone plays along, we are all fine.

Laat haar je meenemen in haar gedachtegangen waar haar overtuigingen, fantasieën en inspiratiebronnen zich een plek naar buiten wurmen. jonge dichter, tijdslot middag tweede gedeelte 7 minuten

Clownado (1)

Program category

Clownado

clowns

A brief history of cinema: first there was JAWS (Spielberg, 1975), then there was IT (Tommy Lee Wallace) in 1990, followed by TWISTER (Jan de Bont, 1996) and the mockbusters of The Asylum, like SHARKNADO (2013). Somehow, in the turbo-blender mind of Todd Sheets, this all got mixed up, and out came CLOWNADO. Cursed demonic circus clowns set out on a vengeful massacre using tornadoes. A stripper, an Elvis impersonator, a truck driver, a teen runaway, and a dude, get caught up in the supernatural battle between femme fatale and the boss clown from hell.

tox

I AM TOXIC is a comic book post-apocalyptic zombie film where Latin America is turned into a giant scrapheap. The only trace of humanity are...zombies! With a grungy seventies look this lowbudget production reminds of Romero and Dante, to name a few.
Mexico has a great tradition of filmmaking, but horror films are rare. Thanks to the perseverance of the director's brother Diego, his graphic novel did see the light of day eventually.

White Chamber

Paul Rachid

In the near future civil war rages in The United Kingdom. A woman wakes up in a blindingly white cuboid cell. Using its sophisticated functionality, her captor tortures her for information; information she claims not to have - or does she?
Skilfully playing with the spectators expectations Paul Rachid's third film somehow reminds of a Vincenzo Natali movie (Cube, Nothing), but with a more relevant and contemporary approach, raising questions about the perception of truth and reality, and the use of interrogation methods.

Retromaniacs - a Gang, a Lifestyle, a Collective

Anyone who mentions the word 'videotape' in Germany, also says ’Retromaniacs’. A bunch of hardcore video experts from all over Germany gathered in the biggest and last real 80’s video store of the country. In a small village that no one would expect to be the VHS capital of Germany, they grew from creative nerds into friends and formed an outstanding collective of pro-guys who know their shit!

This documentary travels with them on their mission to find the holy grail: 60.000 VHS tapes (the biggest amount anyone has ever seen in one place) hidden in a monstrous hall where the tapes are stacked up to the roof. And they can get them for free, as long as they are able to get them all out of there...

A funny fetish road movie about a once-in-a-lifetime trip and dream come true for every VHS lover. This strange package comes in the guise of an 80’s videotape programme surrounded by trailers, shorts and weird announcements from the days when VHS was the hottest shit in Home Entertainment...

Retromaniacs - The Warriors of Video… Recommended for the mentally retarded, 18+.

Stosstruppe Venus bläst zum Angriff

69

Op Venus zijn geen mannen en dus gaan de vrouwen op zoek naar sperma op aarde. Op hun speurtocht naar zaad landen ze in...Tirol.
Daar aangekomen worden de space babes door hun outfit verward met het verwachte Olympische ski team. Zelfs deze verwarring voorkomt niet dat de zoektocht naar donoren geen enkel probleem oplevert. Een ieder die opgegroeid is in de jaren 70 weet dat Tirolerfilms een populair filmgenre waren. Daar kwam zoveel volk op af dat vele buurtbioscopen daar nog jaren op konden voortbestaan. Tiroler films werden overigens gewoon in Beieren gemaakt en hadden een vleugje erotiek, mooi behang, flauwe grappen maar vooral het speelse en volksvermaak (iedereen deelt in de seks en uiterlijk deed er niet toe) gingen erin als zoete koek.
Das gab’s nur einmal!
