Offscreen On Tour | Offscreen
A selection of several films can be watched at different locations in our programme "Offscreen - on tour" !
At Liège there's even a mini-festival (see: www.offscreen-liege.be).
Dr. Caligari
Her uncontrollable nymphomania gets Ms. Van Houten locked up in a psychiatric clinic run by the sadistic Dr. Caligari. Theatrical and nonsensical dialogues, unreal sets bathing in eighties dayglo – this campy semi-sequel to the German Expressionistic classic is the closest thing to a legal hallucinogen.
The Warrior
Rebel fighter Jaka Sembung takes on the Dutch oppressors who in turn call in reinforcements with the help of a black magician. Body parts are suddenly airborne, Indonesian actors wear blond wigs, palm trees explode and surprised looking bulls get wrestled to the ground: top entertainment.
The Greasy Strangler
While a greasy strangler creeps around town, the timid Brayden and his frisky old devil of a father Ronnie compete for the affection of ‘disco cutie’ Janet. Outrageous, juvenile and hilarious, this film is packed with absurd humour, fart jokes, and a giant penis to boot. An instant cult classic you can’t miss!
Rabid Grannies
Two dear old aunties invite the family to a very special birthday party at a castle. When the two grannies receive a present from their devil worshipping nephew, they turn into cannibalistic monsters and go after their dinner guests.
Morgiana
The blackest of black, the ultimate shade of noir, the high priestess of Gothic supreme: veils, coffins and the petrifying eyelashes of its leading ladies included. No label quite sums up the baroque magnificence of "Morgiana". Ensnares fully with a story of madness, betrayal and hallucination-inducing poison.
Lady Terminator
Brace yourself for an outrageous “The Terminator” rip-off where Arnold Schwarzenegger is replaced by a woman with balls of steel: possessed by the spirit of an Asian sex goddess and armed with a rattling machine gun she turns the streets of Jakarta into a veritable battleground.
Grave
Justine is a dedicated vegetarian who starts veterinary school at the age of sixteen. When she is force-fed raw meat during a hazing ritual, a lingering taste for flesh takes hold of her, leading to her disturbing descent into cannibalism. A visceral coming-of-age story with a pungent aftertaste.
The Love Witch
In a visual tribute to 1960s Technicolor movies, the beautiful, young sorceress Elaine is desperately on the prowl for a man. She uses potions to seduce potential suitors, but they may prove to be fatally effective… Witty and thought-provoking, this film is imbued with a strong feminist message.
The Greasy Strangler
While a greasy strangler creeps around town, the timid Brayden and his frisky old devil of a father Ronnie compete for the affection of ‘disco cutie’ Janet. Outrageous, juvenile and hilarious, this film is packed with absurd humour, fart jokes, and a giant penis to boot. An instant cult classic you can’t miss!
Baron Prasil
Karel Zeman's playful virtuosity lends itself perfectly to the classic tale of Baron Munchausen. Making the impossible a reality, the ‘Czech Meliès’ places the actors in wonderfully inventive animated decors and brings the Baron's improbable tales to life like never before. A highlight in Zeman's oeuvre.
Valerie and Her Week of Wonders
The quintessential gem in the canon of Czech surrealism. Valerie dreams a young girl's dream where menacing and lecherous men lurk behind every corner and crave her unspoiled flesh. The spirit of the Poetic avant-garde soars in this predominantly visual world that is all colour and texture and splendour.
The Love Witch
In a visual tribute to 1960s Technicolor movies, the beautiful, young sorceress Elaine is desperately on the prowl for a man. She uses potions to seduce potential suitors, but they may prove to be fatally effective… Witty and thought-provoking, this film is imbued with a strong feminist message.
Toys in the Attic (Drôle de Grenier)
An old suitcase in a dusty attic is the home of an eclectic collection of toys. When the beautiful doll Buttercup is abducted, her friends organise a search party and go on an adventure that’s filled with danger and intrigue. A stop motion gem that is bound to captivate the minds of both young and old.
The Devil's Sword
In a hidden palace on the ocean floor lives the sexually insatiable crocodile queen and her army of sex slaves. She seeks world domination but for this she needs a mythical sword, made from a fallen meteorite. Non-stop fun in this bizarre fantasy film featuring laser duels and cyclopic monsters.
Basket Case
“What's in the basket?” Everyone asks Duane that same question when he arrives in New York and checks in at the sleazy Hotel Broslin. But what exactly is in that basket? Duane's malformed Siamese twin brother Belial! Together they want to seek revenge on the surgeons who separated their bodies.
