Party: Night Of The Living Dirt - Video Tape Madness From The Vaults

JIGOKU AND CORSICA STUDIOS PRESENTS NIGHT OF THE LIVING DIRT - VIDEO TAPE MADNESS FROM THE VAULTS


As part of Scalarama’s annual Celebration of Cinema Jigoku and Corsica Studios have teamed up to bring you a programme of cult cinema that will be shown each Monday throughout September, screenings held at Corsica Studios.
Corsica Studios and Jigoku first worked together in the early days of Corsica. They Reunite to bring you a psychotronic underground film event curated by video archivist and DJ Lovely Jon.

Originally emanating from all night video sessions with friends and comrades in late 80s, Night of the Living Dirt's genesis branched out in to the free party squat and warehouse scene to pre-social media audiences via the free fanzine Lovely Jon’s. Keeping this legendary institution underground, Night of the Living Dirt has continued to spread its inherent virus around the Capital and Europe, most significantly via Krakow's sophomoric Unsound Festival where Jigoku continues to present challenging, below radar film programmes to counter cultural cineastes.

This years programme for 2015's Scalarama festival presents a diverse quartet of cinematic oddities culled from Lovely Jon's iconic VHS collection. Refusing to 'toe the line', the programme is a multi-genre journey encompassing what Jigoku has always stood for - independence and individuality alongside a splintered tunnel-vision of weird world cinema. The programme will also include an exclusive live performance from Lovely Jon's offshoot project Ichi-Jigoku so be prepared to have your mind, body and ears blown away.

To Kick start this series Lovely Jon will be hosting a short pre-screening introduction to the season and talk about Lethal Hunter - the first movie to be shown as part of the Corsica/Scalarama programme.

Also including a live audio and visual set brought to you by Jigoku, an intense sensory cut up experience exploring the obscure, dark and heavier sides of both film and music.
Think extreme crazy unhinged cinema synthesised by the whole Punk aesthetic in music and attitude.



This event will be free entry and limited seating will be available so please book a seat at [email protected] so as not to be disappointed.





PROGAMME.

1988/INDONESIA/DIRECTOR - ARIZAL

Indonesian action specialist Arizal is well known for his demented action movies, many featuring dangerous and death defying stunt work. Here's one of his best - featuring Chris 'son of Robert' Mitchum as a special agent caught up in a mad chase for a micro film stolen by the Mafia. Cue hardcore aggro, a spitting electronic boogie soundtrack, nasty torture and martial arts leg work from the mighty Bill "Superfoot" Wallace. Sourced from a Greek video tape. English language with forced Greek subtitles.
