SUNDAY SHOCK THERAPY We’ve teamed up with the newly-opened Vibe Live to create an electrifying film matinée. Expect anything that is out of bounds, from deranged Japanese exploitation and offensive animation to extreme Asian shockers and outrageous Mexican horror. Each screening will include a short film provided by pioneers of underground short film screenings Halloween/London Short Film Festival + live DJs before and after the screening. Forget chilling out on a Sunday, what we want is more excitement! For our first event on SUNDAY 11 MAY, we are proud to present a rare gem, the crazed 1973 Sex and Fury (courtesy of Fabulous Films). Queen of bad girls Reiko Ike is Ochô Inoshika, a gutsy female gambler out to get revenge for her father, brutally murdered by the local yakuza when she was just a child. One of the most over the top of the ‘pinky violence’ films to come out of 70s Japan, Sex and Fury features spies, anarchists, yakuzas, poisoned perfume, a Christ-like crucifixion and nude sword fighting, all wrapped up in madcap inventiveness and surreal beauty. Shamelessly entertaining cinema! And we’ll also have a competition to win a fantastic Paranoia Agent box set (courtesy of MVM Entertainment), don’t miss! Door: £3, 2-6pm. Vibe Live is a seated venue with a large screen.
