The Lacey Rituals

An early cinema influenced tale of rags to riches by Bob Godfrey. Bruce Lacey stars as the hapless ‘little man’ who longs to stand in the shoes of his hero: conductor Lance Corporal.

A surreal mix of advertising tropes from the 1960s is very funny but has a neat anti-capitalist undertow.

An obscure Eastern cult that practices human sacrifice pursues Ringo after he unknowingly puts on a ceremonial ring (that, of course, won't come off). On top of that, a pair of mad scientists, members of Scotland Yard, and a beautiful but dead-eyed assassin all have their own plans for the Fab Four.

Harriet Blossom is married to Robert Blossom, a businessman who'd rather spend the night at his bra factory than at home with her. One day, Harriet's sewing machine breaks, so Robert sends a repairman, Ambrose, to fix it. It's lust at first sight for Harriet, who convinces Ambrose to hide out in the attic for a tryst. When her new beau shows no desire to leave, the pair begin a years-long love affair right under Robert's nose.

Sequel to The Mouse that Roared; The Tiny Country of Grand Fenwick has a hot water problem in the castle. To get the money necessary to put in a new set of plumbing, they request foreign aid from the U.S. for Space Research. The Russians then send aid as well to show that they too are for the internationalization of space. While the grand Duke is dreaming of hot baths, their one scientist is slapping together a rocket. The U.S. and Soviets get wind of the impending launch and try and beat them to the moon.

Two young women arrive in London to make it big in show business, and become corrupted by money and fame in the process.

A nebbish schoolteacher begs his smooth (and misogynistic) pal to teach him 'the knack' – how to score with women. Serendipitously, the men meet up with a new girl in town, as well as a friendly lunatic who can’t help but paint things white.

The hero and heroine want to popularize trad jazz in their town. Some older people feel displeased about trad jazz, and prevent their trying. The hero and heroine go to a London television studio to ask trad jazz musicians to perform in concert.

Lewis and Scilla's rocky marriage finally breaks apart – a situation made worse by the fact that Scilla is a key part of the television show that Lewis produces. But while Lewis copes by picking up a passing starlet, Scilla indulges her passion for bathrooms by getting one custom-designed by an ex-Nazi architect!

A short film without any direct action designed more as an experiment, with disjointed comic scenes with no common thread.

A ritual created and performed by Bruce Lacey.

A moody, pastoral sci-fi tale about Stella Superstar and her travels across the universe. Vaseline around the camera lens and other early cinema techniques turn it into something truly beautiful.

An instructional film by Bruce Lacey.

A highly impressionistic film in which a blind man (Lacey) drifts through the war-damaged streets of Camden and Islington.

Free-form and anarchic in a very English way, this elaborate, gothic, handmade production was based on a tale from the ARABIAN NIGHTS and looks forward to FLAMING CREATURES and other underground movies from the 60s that merge lush fantasy with grimy reality. Art director Bruce Lacey stars as the ghoulish witch doctor who brings a dead body back to life.
