Erik Davis vs Ken Hollings Mindclash
with live soundtrack by Simon James.
Followed by Fire Maidens from Outer Space (UK, 1955) & possible other surprises.
A dialogue between these two great minds - Erik Techgnosis Davis and Ken Destroy All Monsters Hollings - complete with a soundtrack, mixed live from Simon James, who has collaborated with Ken on numerous projects.
Following the mindclash, we'll be screening the little known hour-long British '50s sci-fi gem "Fire Maidens from Outer Space".
In the words of Mr Hollings:
"British low-budget sci fi from 1954 involving chain-smoking astronauts, the dancing female descendants of Atlantis somehow relocated to one of the moons of Jupiter - 'alien landscape' sequences filmed in the Kent countryside but with eerie music playing over it..."

TWO DAYS OF SCREENING WITH JACK STEVENSON
MORE DETAILS TO COME
PLUS HORSE HOSPITAL REGULARS MADE GOOD, GO SEE :
DIE
Riverside Studios
"Marvellously tasteless mayhem from start to finish, 'DIE' combines the brutality of 'South Park', the puppetry of 'Spitting Image', the ghastliness of a rock musical, the surrealism of Chris Morris and the zany kitsch of Frank Zappa. Written and directed by Sarah Nield and Paul Garner for Brand X Productions, it is a satire of a corporate-run Hell spun out in 70 maniacal minutes. In this time, Deathrow Jethro has his soul assessed for damnation following his electrocution on the 'Justice Channel' for the mass murder that he was driven to by his 300lb trailer park mom.
But do not expect much story: this is simply in-yer-face pandemonium. Staged like a cartoon strip, its hellfire madness is spun out with latex caricatures of schizoid celebrities, live action in Disney-style S&M costumes and an entirely travestied species of Balinese puppetry. Then, holding the lunacy together, Martin Pavey's soundtrack ranges from funeral parlour muzak to booming gunfire and Lloyd Webber-esque arias set to screeching thrash metal.
There is absolutely no time for reflection in this relentless, eschatological bombardment. The summit of its hilarity (or depth of depravity) comes with the line-up of randomly generated horror singers. Cue a puppet of Dolly Parton wailing 'I Will Always Love You' while her giant bazookas flip open with pop-out pics. Then there's Elephant Man Elvis - 'I'm not an animal, I'm The King!' - slurping his way through the Presley repertoire. But the most killing joke of all is Frankenstinatra and the all-dead 'rot pack' singing 'come die with me, let's putrify away!' Happily, what starts with a grisly execution ends with a spoof 'celebrity birth' TV programme brought to us on a 'cunt cam'. The crackpot creators of this show are bound to have a real-life TV show of their own very soon - so catch them live and dangerous first."
Patrick Marmion.
