The outlandish Parisian genre and fantasy festival returns from September 3 to 13 with another line-up bulging with wild, unhinged and lost treasures. The festival opens with Simon Pummel\u2019s schizophrenic sci-fi thriller Brand New-U<\/I><\/B> and closes with Bollywood epic Baahubali: The Beginning<\/i><\/a>, with a full range of sleazy subversiveness and avant-garde strangeness in between, from Marcel L\u2019Herbier\u2019s restored 1924 art deco femme fatale tale L\u2019inhumaine<\/I><\/B> to Rolph de Heer\u2019s grotesque family tale Bad Boy Bubby<\/I><\/B><\/A>, not to forget a zombie all-nighter.<\/p>\n

Highlights include the latest from three Japanese heavyweights: Takashi Miike\u2019s Yakuza Apocalypse<\/I><\/B>, Hideo Nakata’s Ghost Theater<\/I><\/B> and Sion Sono with two films, Tag<\/i><\/a> and Love and Peace<\/I><\/B>. Also screening are The Blaine Brothers\u2019 original and moving Nina Forever<\/I><\/B>, Steve Oram\u2019s category-defying Aaaaaaaah!<\/I><\/A> and Ulrich Seidl\u2019s exploration of Austrian cellars In the Basement<\/I><\/B><\/A>.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ll be checking out Alex Van Varmerdam\u2019s absurdist thriller La peau de Bax<\/I><\/B>, Raúl Garcia\u2019s Edgar Allan Poe animation film Extraordinary Tales<\/I><\/B>, Michael Madsen\u2019s speculative alien invasion documentary The Visit<\/I><\/B>, experimental Afghanistan-set sci-fi Ni le ciel ni la terre<\/I><\/B> directed by artist Clément Cogitore, and Jason Bognacki\u2019s slick giallo-influenced tale of possession Another<\/I><\/B>.<\/p>\n

This year, the guest curators are Guy Maddin (also included in the main programme with his own The Forbidden Room<\/I><\/B>), whose selection includes Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia<\/I><\/B><\/A>, Teuvo Tulio\u2019s Sensuela<\/I><\/B> and George Kuchar\u2019s The Devil\u2019s Cleavage<\/I><\/B>; Benoit Delepine, co-director of Aaltra<\/I> and Mammuth<\/I><\/B><\/A>, will present Tim Burton\u2019s Pee-Wee\u2019s Big Adventure<\/I><\/B> and hopeless Russian road movie The Joy<\/I><\/B>; and Ben Wheatley has chosen Frantisek Vlacil\u2019s sumptuous medieval fable Marketa Lazarova<\/I><\/B><\/A> and Michael Mann\u2019s legendary murky Nazi nightmare The Keep<\/I><\/B><\/A>.<\/p>\n

Documentaries include Dark Star: H.R. Giger\u2019s World<\/I><\/B>, B-Movie: Lust and Sound in West Berlin (1979-1989)<\/I><\/B>, which features Blixa Bargeld and Nekromantik 2<\/I><\/B>\u2019s male lead Mark Reeder, as well as an exploration of the Turkish golden age of low-budget Hollywood remakes, Remake, Remix, Rip-Off<\/I><\/B>, part of a focus on alternative Turkish cinema.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s musical performance is truly exceptional: legendary masked industrial collective The Residents<\/B> will play a new version of Shadowland<\/I> as well as presenting a programme of films and documentary Theory of Obscurity: A Movie about The Residents<\/I><\/B>. <\/p>\n

As always, the line-up includes a vast and dynamic selection of shorts, ranging from Can Evrenol\u2019s hard-hitting, gut-punching Baskin<\/i><\/a> and Javier Chillon\u2019s inventive, intelligent Die Schneider Krankheit<\/I><\/B> to classics by Jaume Balaguero, Jonathan Caouette and Bill Morrison.<\/p>\n
