THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE 2 (1986)
dir. Tobe Hooper, 100 min. English language
Screening Wednesday December 4th
All at once more jovial and comedic and more gruesome and intense than its predecessor, Tobe Hooper’s Sequel to his 1974 masterwork is a strangely balanced piece that manages to maintain the rawness and unconscious social commentary whilst reeking of a distinctly 1980s excess.

PINK FLAMINGO CINEMA'S DECADENT AND DEPRAVED
Screening November 13th, 2024
A take on found footage that wasn’t supposed to be found, a home movie made by amoral outcasts for an unspeakable audience. No real narrative to speak of but a series of vignettes as the titular Trash Humpers (played and shot (on VHS) by Korine, his wife and some friends) roam the alleys and backlots of Nashville on a spree of antisocial behaviour: drunkenness, disturbing rituals, vandalism, lewd acts with…
