THE MISKATONIC INSTITUTE OF HORROR STUDIES – LONDON UNVEILS FULL JANUARY-JUNE LINEUP<\/p>\n

The Miskatonic Institute of Horror Studies has revealed the full curriculum for the pilot season of its branch in London, which opens on January 8th, with intensive film classes on a wide range of topics from safety films to cannibals by some of the horror world\u2019s most renowned critical luminaries. <\/p>\n

Canadian founder Kier-La Janisse will make a brief UK appearance to launch the season with a lecture on classic classroom safety films and the shocks they deliver. She will be followed in February by Mark Pilkington, who will explore the exotic horrors of cannibal films. In March, Virginie S\u00e9lavy will look at 1960s-70s sado-masochistic erotica and the meanings of the various power games represented. The following month, Stephen Thrower will talk about Jes\u00fas Franco\u2019s unique style of art, erotic and commercial filmmaking, marking the publication of his new book on the director. In May, Jasper Sharp will investigate the psychological and supernatural significance of landscapes, from Onibaba<\/I> to Dust Devil<\/I>. Closing the season, Kim Newman will discuss Gary Sherman\u2019s 1972 Death Line<\/I> the and the film\u2019s use of cannibalism and political subtext.<\/p>\n

Named for the fictional university in H.P. Lovecraft\u2019s literary mythos, The Miskatonic Institute of Horror Studies is a non-profit, community-based organisation that started in Winnipeg and Montreal, Canada, founded by Kier-La Janisse in March of 2010. Miskatonic London operates under the co-direction of Kier-La Janisse and Virginie Sélavy. <\/p>\n

All classes take place at the historic Horse Hospital, the heart of the city\u2019s underground culture. Registration for the full season is \u00a350.
