METROPOLIS
Lang's Expressionist silent classic reached a new generation via this Giorgio Moroder version with an 1980s pop soundtrack. Brigitte Helm plays a double role as proletarian heroine Maria and the iconic robot created in her image. See the eternal class war played out in an Art Deco setting, with a cast of thousands!
NEW RELIGION
A part-time sex worker, haunted by the death of her child, takes on a mysterious new client, an insect-obsessed recluse more interested in taking ritualistic photos of body parts than in sex.

ORDINARY FAILURES
A cataclysmic event on the far side of town goes unnoticed by a widow, a lonely teenager and a harassed single mother: three women preoccupied with mundane problems until all hell breaks loose and their lives intersect. A compelling, compassionate look at how we're distracted by details in the face of impending doom.
IKARIE XB-1
A starship heads to Alpha Centauri on a search for alien intelligence in this classic Stanisław Lem adaptation, a key influence on everything from 2001 to Star Trek with its depiction of everyday life in space and discovery of an abandoned vessel. The old-fashioned robot is a figure of fun - until he saves the day!
FASCINATION
A fugitive thief hides out at a château, only to find himself at the mercy of a cult of blood-drinking bisexual women in this free adaptation of a story by Symbolist poet Jean Lorrain. It's a fever dream of floaty chiffon, misty visuals and - in one of horror's most iconic images - Lahaie in a cloak, wielding a scythe!
This film will be introduced by Brigitte Lahaie.
JE SUIS À PRENDRE
Hélène (Lahaie) is a young bride whose new husband abandons her in his country mansion while he buggers off to a brothel for a champagne orgy.

This film will be introduced by Brigitte Lahaie.

INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE. ALWAYS WATCHING: THE ROBOT, ANDROID & CYBORG ON SCREEN
From the iconic Metropolis in 1927 all the way up to Franklin Rich’s The Artifice Girl in 2022, cinema has been a watchful presence in humanity’s dalliance with artificial life. From robots, to androids, to cyborgs, the idea that our own hubris might, in fact, create the very conditions for our own destruction has been central to the ways in which filmmakers have reflected on issues surrounding artificial life. Whether it be the out-of-control security robots of Jim Wynorski’s Chopping Mall (who take their role as shopping mall guards a little too seriously), the uncanny, malfunctioning androids of Westworld or the army of daleks jealously bent on total domination of humanity in Dr Who and The Daleks, their portrayal has often been seen as a warning against humanity’s unbridled creation of electronic or robotic life. Yet they have also been portrayed as benevolent: as faithful friends (The Iron Giant); humorous and quirky sidekicks (Short Circuit); clever and loyal allies such as R2D2 and C3PO (amongst others) in The Empire Strikes Back; and even studious (and heart-warming) workers (WALL-E). Cinema’s relationship with the robot, the android and cyborg has therefore been a complex one.
THE CREATION OF THE HUMANOIDS
After a nuclear war, human survivors fear and despise the robots they now depend on, with extremists even launching terrorist attacks against the blue-skinned humanoids. Wooden acting and no-budget sets give an agreeably avant-garde flavour to this forgotten sci-fi gem packed with unusually progressive ideas.
BLADE RUNNER (DIRECTOR'S CUT)
A Los Angeles gumshoe, assigned to terminate rogue replicants, starts to question the ethics of his job. Scott's visionary reworking of Philip K. Dick's Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? revolutionised the face of sci-fi cinema with its neo-noir imagery, unforgettable androids, and spine-tingling Vangelis score.
LOLA
In 1941, two English sisters invent a machine that tunes into TV and radio signals from the future. At first it's all fun and games and David Bowie, but when they use the device to help the Allied war effort, things go horribly wrong. Vintage newsreel and period pastiche combine in a found footage film with a difference!
This movie will be introduced by the director, Andrew Legge.
THE TRANSFORMERS: THE MOVIE
Heroic Autobots battle evil Decepticons in this spin-off from the animated TV show; more fun than Michael Bay's live-action pics, and not averse to killing off beloved characters. The illustrious voice cast includes Robert Stack, Leonard Nimoy and Orson Welles, in his final role, as the voracious planet Unicron.
FACELESS
Never a dull moment in this delirious horror-thriller as wicked nurse Lahaie helps a plastic surgeon slice the faces off kidnapped women in an attempt to restore his scarred sister's beauty. An all-star cult cast also includes Helmut Berger, Caroline Munro and (phoning his scenes in from New York) Telly Savalas.
in the presence of Brigitte Lahaie - signature session (books & DVDs on sale) after the screening!

THE IRON GIANT
During the Cold War, a young boy befriends a big metal-eating robot from outer space which crashlands near his small town, but the paranoid government sends agents to investigate. This lovely animated fable, based on a children's story by poet Ted Hughes, flopped on its release but is now hailed as a modern classic.
A LIFE ON THE FARM
What starts as a routine found footage documentary unfurls into a portrait of a unique outsider artist. Charles Carson, a Somerset farmer, documented his everyday life on videotape by filming cow placentas, hat-chewing horses - and his mother's corpse. Far from being creepy, the results are endearing and delightful.
+ online Q&A with director Oscar Harding
STRANGER
A synchronised swimming team vanishes mid-routine. A detective checks into an eerie hydrotherapy clinic to probe the link between Thomas Mann, fish people and the psychic significance of sneezing. Deadpan humour, time loops and dream logic weave a beguiling spell in this surreal thriller awash with images of water.
FORBIDDEN PLANET
Shakespeare's The Tempest gets a sci-fi makeover in this fantasy masterpiece with an avant-garde score. A starship lands on a planet where a sinister force has killed all but two members of a previous expedition: a scientist and his daughter. Robby the Robot, their mechanical servant, was a big hit with the public.
DR. WHO AND THE DALEKS
The BBC's beloved sci-fi TV show first aired in 1963 and quickly spawned this big screen spin-off. Peter Cushing plays the time-travelling doctor who is transported with his two daughters and an assistant to Planet Skaro, home of the doctor's most fearsome enemies, the robotic Daleks. Their catchphrase? EX-TER-MIN-ATE!
LA NUIT DES TRAQUÉES
Lahaie plays a fugitive from a sinister clinic in this erotic neo-noir filmed amid the concrete and glass of Paris's La Défense, but she can't remember why she was being kept there. The sad, shocking truth involves a government cover-up, and an ambience closer to early Cronenberg than to Rollin's usual misty châteaux.
13 March 2023
EX MACHINA
Garland's directing debut is a virtual three-hander in which a naïve programmer is helicoptered into a billionaire tech bro's luxury home to determine whether a female android is capable of independent thought. Toxic masculinity and Machiavellian mind games ensue, with results that will keep you guessing to the end.
14 March 2023
I, ROBOT

Meanwhile, the laws of Hollywood blockbusters ensure a full complement of superb special effects and Will Smith kicking robot ass.
TERMINATOR 2: JUDGMENT DAY
Arnold Schwarzenegger plays a creaky old T-800 sent back in time to protect mankind's future saviour and his mom from the more advanced T-1000 - a robot made of liquid metal! Just because this blockbuster has a pro-peace message doesn't mean it's not packed with chases, explosions and mind-blowing special effects.
15 March 2023
GODZILLA VS MECHAGODZILLA
Just when you thought Godzilla was one of the good guys, he goes on the rampage again. But it's a mechanical imposter, controlled by aliens from another planet!

A heroic pilot agrees to lead a mission to Saturn, aware UNESCO has placed an android on his crew as part of a risky experiment. Can he work out which of his men is the non-human? This adaptation from one of Stanisław Lem's Pirxa stories blends Cold War aesthetics and Arvo Pärt music with thrilling deep space action.
SOMETHING IN THE DIRT
Benson and Moorhead return to their no-budget roots with a lockdown film like no other. Two nutty but endearing Los Angeles neighbours try to spin a levitating ashtray into a moneymaking documentary about alien conspiracies, with results that veer from hilarious to alarming as the mens' dark secrets come to light.
STEEL AND LACE
When her evil yuppie rapist is found not guilty, a classical pianist commits suicide, but is resurrected by her genius brother as a killer-cyborg programmed to murder the scumbag and the buddies who gave him a fake alibi. Rape-revenge exploitation with a melancholy streak offset by some creative and surprising kills!

17 March 2023
WESTWORLD
You've seen the HBO series, now revisit Crichton's original sci-fi classic about a futuristic theme park where tourists can interact with lifelike androids in recreations of the wild west, ancient Rome and medieval times. What could possibly go wrong? Yul Brynner, as an implacable robot gunslinger, is nightmare fodder.
DE HUMANI CORPORIS FABRICA
Filmed in hospitals around Paris, this gruesome yet stunningly beautiful documentary explores human bodies in extreme close-up as they're sliced up by medics. Micro-cameras take us inside urethras, brains and other organs for an awe-inspiring immersive experience that also pays homage to hardworking hospital staff.
ANTHROPOPHAGOUS
An idyllic Greek island holiday turns into a Tripadvisor nightmare when young tourists are stalked by a entrail-gobbling, foetus-eating cannibal. D'Amato and Eastman's most infamous collaboration covers the handsome actor's face with crusty makeup for a gore classic that earned a place on the UK's "Video Nasty" list!
EROTIC NIGHTS OF THE LIVING DEAD
An American property developer aims to build a luxury resort on a tropical island, but the place is cursed... with flesh-eating zombies! D'Amato and Eastman (who wrote the screenplay, as well as playing a lusty skipper) combine two of their favourite genres in this horror/porn hybrid filmed in the Dominican Republic.

Contributing friends and colleagues include Lamberto Bava, Michele Soavi and, of course, George Eastman.
Screened for the first time in the unreleased extended cut!
ENDGAME

THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK
C-3PO and R2-D2 return for the first and best sequel in the Star Wars franchise, which introduces Yoda and spills the shocking truth about Darth Vader. This time the loveable droid duo faces formidable robotic competition in the shape of Imperial AT-AT Walkers; the tie-in toys were an instant hit with young fans.
DEATH SMILES ON A MURDERER
A rich couple takes in a lovely amnesiac (Swedish starlet Ewa Aulin, of Candy fame) whose carriage crashes right in front of their mansion. Big mistake: she's not as angelic as she looks! D'Amato goes full-on Eurogothic, with a pinch of Poe, a splash of Carmilla, a dash of decaying corpse and a soupçon of splatter.
EROTIC NIGHTS OF THE LIVING DEAD
An American property developer aims to build a luxury resort on a tropical island, but the place is cursed... with flesh-eating zombies!

THE QUESTOR TAPES
Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry conceived this TV film as the pilot for a series that was never made, but it works on its own as a globe-trotting adventure powered by the bromance between a human and an android, clearly the prototype for Next Generation's Data. Typical Roddenberry, it's humane, touching and funny.
FAIRYTALE
Multiple deep-fake incarnations of Hitler, Stalin, Mussolini and Churchill wander around Purgatory, swapping inconsequential banter, knocking on heaven's gate or bumping into Jesus and Napoleon. One of cinema's great visionary auteurs animates the ghosts of the past to reflect on a legacy of 20th century atrocity.
EVA
In 2043, androids are part of everyday life. Daniel Brühl (speaking fluent Catalan) plays a cybernetic genius who returns to his hometown to build a robot child modelled on his niece. Exquisite virtual interfaces, a droll robot factotum and adorable robo-cat are the supporting stars in this bewitching sci-fi yarn.
A.I. ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
ESCAPE TO THE SILVER GLOBE
In 1975, maverick director Andrzej Żuławski returned to his native Poland to make On the Silver Globe, an intense, gory sci-fi epic fated to become one of cinema's unfinished masterpieces. Mikurda's documentary shows the reasons why in an eye-opening account of egocentric genius grappling with oppressive bureaucracy.

GHOST IN THE SHELL 2: INNOCENCE
Major Kusanagi has a cameo, but the protagonist of this underrated sequel is her partner Batou, the world-weary semi-cyborg with a loveable Basset Hound. He and Section 9 trace a series of sexbot killings to a labyrinth of false realities and existential philosophy in an exquisite feast for the eyes, ears and brain.
22 March 2023
AUTOMATA
In 2044, humans need robotic help to survive in a world scorched by solar flares.

THE SACRED SPIRIT
A girl goes missing in south-east Spain; her uncle and his fellow UFO-buffs suspect she has been abducted by aliens. Impeccable visuals topped off by a stunning final shot amplify this colourful tragicomedy of honest eccentrics who embrace paranormal conspiracies while failing to spot the real evil in their midst.
SCREAMERS
A long war has left a remote planet littered with lethal robots that are evolving to look and behave just like humans. The lives of a battle-weary colonel (Peter Weller) and his men depend on distinguishing man from machine, but easier said than done in this tense, creepy adaptation of a Philip K. Dick short story.

24 March 2023
DEATH MACHINE
In what could be the most unhinged performance of his career, Brad Dourif plays a mad scientist who unleashes his choppy, stabby killer robot on CEOs and eco-warriors trapped in a high-rise. Norrington, in his feature debut, directs the hell out of this often hilarious mash-up of The Terminator, RoboCop and Hardware.
SKINAMARINK
In Ball's semi-experimental feature debut, two small children find themselves alone in the dark. But wait - is there something in the house with them?

PIAFFE
After providing sound effects for an equestrian-themed commercial, a timid young woman grows a horse's tail and embarks on an odd relationship with a man from the Botanical Institute.

NEW RELIGION
A part-time sex worker, haunted by the death of her child, takes on a mysterious new client, an insect-obsessed recluse more interested in taking ritualistic photos of body parts than in sex.
