Nightmare on John Bright Street

The Victoria | 15:30

Twisted shorts that enter the crazy psyche of deviant filmmakers.

Entering the crazy psyche of deviant filmmakers, these twisted shorts feature comedian Brett Gelman and his radical therapy methods (Dinner with Family with Brett Gelman and Brett Gelman's Family), Charlie Lyne’s insight into horror-filmmaking with Copycat, and a psychiatric patient obsessed with stories about fairground freaks and cursed musicians (The Golden Legend). Sometimes scary, often funny, a programme for those who like their films to have an edge.

This is not a ticketed event, but pay whatever you like, be that pounds, pennies or nothing at all. Flatpack Projects is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation.

 

The Golden Legend – UK premiere Dir: Olivier Smolders (Belgium/France 2014 – 24 mins) A psychiatric patient presents a gallery of the historic figures that haunt him, a collection of cursed musicians, unreasonable murderers, fairground freaks, paranoid revolutionaries, flatulists and suicidal hermits.

Copycat Dir: Charlie Lyne (UK 2015 – 8 mins) In the summer of 1990, a teenage filmmaker successfully raises $100,000 to shoot a pioneering horror film. 25 years later, he tells the story of a cult classic that never was.

Never Tear Us Apart UK premiere Dir: Sid Zanforlin (Canada 2015 – 6 mins) Two friends try to survive an encounter with a couple of backwoods cannibals.

The Chickening Dir: Nick DenBoer & Davy Force (USA/Canada 2015 – 6 mins) Chicken-infused remix of "The Shining".
