PLAN
9 FROM
OUTER
SPACE Friday 28 August - 6pm Sunday 30 August - 8:15pm Unspeakable Horrors From Outer Space Paralyze The Living And Resurrect The Dead! With a huge cult following, this camp, low budget gem became the focal point of Tim Burton's biopic of its director Ed Wood, Jr. With a passion to make movies, Wood used all resources at his disposal to realize his vision - even if flawed. Incorporating genre legends like Bela Lugosi, Vampira, Criswell, and Tor Johnson, this has been voted one of the worst movies ever made, but remain an absolutely fascinating piece of cinema history, its flaws becoming its main attractions from one memorable scene to the next. Now is your chance to finally see this 1959 classic on the big screen. |

PLAGUERS Saturday 29 August - 4pm In Space, Nothing Stays Dead Forever When a band of sexy space pirates hijack a fuel-transport vessel bound for Earth, an alien virus known only as "Thanatos" is accidentally released. The contagion mutates its victims, transforming them one after another into ravenous, demonic creatures. Pirates and crew must join together to destroy the undead PLAGUERS as the ship nears Earth, threatening to infect the entire planet. Written & Directed by Brad Sykes Produced by Josephina Sykes Starring: Steve Railsback, Alexis Zibolis, Noelle Perris, Jared Michaels, Paige La Pierre, Robert James, Stephanie Skewes, Chad Nell, Maija Polsley, Erica Browne, David P.

DESTROY
ALL
PLANETS
(Gamera
tai
uchu
kaijû
Bairasu) aka Gamera vs Viras Saturday 29 August - 6pm An alien spaceship heads for earth, intent on world domination! Gamera, the fire-breathing, giant flying turtle has to save humanity. But the squid-like enemies take control of Gamera, forcing man's salvation to attack Tokyo. Made in 1968, this deliciously tacky sci-fi B-flick is great fun and follows the classic Japanese tradition of the original Godzilla movies. Directed by Noriaki Yuasa Written by Nisan Takahashi Starring: Kojiro Hongo, Tôru Takatsuka, Carl Craig, Peter Williams, Carl Clay, Michiko Yaegaki, Mari Atsumi, Junko Yashiro |

AKIRA Sunday 29 August - 8:15pm The End Of The World Was Only The Beginning Tetsuo and Kaneda's motorcycle gang encounters a military operation out to capture an escaped experimental subject. Tetsuo is taken into custody and experimented on, unleashing his intense psychic powers, bursting into his destructive anger directed at the world. Director Katsuhiro Otomo's legendary 1988 Anime became the blueprint for almost every film to follow. |

BANE Sunday 30 August - 4pm They told them they were only interested in discovery and peace. They lied. Four women awake in an underground cell with complete amnesia. They soon discover that they are part of a gruesome experiment. One by one they are visited by a demented scientist who cuts a four digit number into each woman's skin - the exact time of their death... Written & Directed by James Eaves Produced by Laura & James Eaves Starring: Sophia Dawnay, Lisa Devlin, Tina Barnes, Sylvia Robson, Daniel Jordan, Jonathan Sidgwick www.AmberPictures.co.uk |

AUTOMATONS Sunday 30 August - 6pm This Is How Humanity Dies In the distant future a lone surviving woman is the last of her kind, the rest perishing in the generations-long war that she continues to fight, assisted by a group of antiquated robot helpers. Men started this was. The Machines will finish it. Shot on Super-8 in black & white, this innovative low budget 2006 movie directed by James Felix McKenney also features Angus Scrimm, better known as The Tall Man from the Phantasm movies. "Automatons is what happens when Eraserhead and Tetsuo The Iron Man bong themselves into oblivion and collaborate on a minimalist avant-garde sci-fi cheapie shot in a toolshed... Robot radness achieved! Budgets are for bitches." - Nathan Lee (Village Voice) "...the movie's loving attention to light and shade transcends its hermetic setting and meager budget. At times the buzzing static and fizzy backlighting recall the glistening surrealism of the filmmaker Guy Maddin..." - Jeanette Catsoulis (New York Times) www.deathtotheautomatons.com |
