Melancholic Delirium: The Vampire Cinema of Jean Rollin

Go back to the 1980s and discover the extraordinary true story of Cliff Twemlow! You’ve never heard of him… but polymath Twemlow was a nightclub bouncer, novelist, composer, singer, screenwriter, producer and actor who was the most prolific indie filmmaker in the UK for a decade! Witness how this 20th-century Renaissance man created his own innovative micro-film industry in Manchester. Shooting his feature films on clunky early pioneering video technology, G.B.H. (1983) was even branded a Video Nasty! A warmly hilarious portrait that will take you back to an era where literally anything could happen. And did!

A look at the careers of Gualtiero Jacopetti and Franco Prosperi who invented the mondo genre with MONDO CANE in 1962. It follows their career until their split in following the making of GOODBYE UNCLE TOM in 1971.

While the Satanic Panic reached its peak in the 1980s and 1990s, its origins go back a decade earlier, with a backlash against the Age of Aquarius, fear of RPGs and heavy metal, and a series of hysterical books led by a grubby work of fiction masquerading as a true memoir, written by a shameless fraud.
