Le Saigneur est avec nous (In Memoriam Alfons Vranckx)

Genre
Le Saigneur est avec Nous

It’ World War III, Man ! (“Le Saigneur est avec nous”)
This film looks like a paranoid statement.
Everyone is fighting everyone and the rest against all others.
Male chauvinism fights love while love makes war to violence and fascism.
Time and Work are eternal enemies. Sadism and nazi’s are big friends.
All images have been cut into small pieces, no image standing still.
No story. No main character. No net to save you.

Bande de cons! (Bunch of Assholes!)

Genre
Bande de cons! (Bunch of Assholes!)

Roland Lethem's most (in)famous movie is an experiment in insult and abuse: the abuse of victims by the police, the abuse of humans by society, the abuse of the spectator by the director. Heavily inspired by the style and politics of the surrealists and Japanese counter-culture-cinema.

A disturbing experimental horror film that delves into humanity's dark psyche and lets us experience death from within. A violent and extreme mindfuck. shot exclusively on 16mm and super8. As beautifully grainy, grimy and poetic as it is disquieting.

Rodolfa and Maria Antonieta, two sexworkers with a deep passion for spliffs and trap music, hang around all day at their workplace: a magic garden at an abandoned airport ground in Berlin.

Female Touch

Genre
Female Touch

This avant-garde sex film is a tribute to the films of Alberto Cavallone, directed by Morgana Mayer, whose Sexual Labyrinth was shown at BUT last year. Just like that film, Female Touch is a blasphemous, dreamlike movie that offers a queer and kinky vision of womanhood.

Les Garçons Sauvages

Genre
Les Garçons Sauvages

Jules Verne's The Mysterious Island and William Golding's Lord of the Flies turn into a gender-bending Freudian nightmare in this highly stylized film, in which a group of teenage rapists is sent to a mysterious island where nothing is what it seems. The style of the film is heavily inspired by the cinema of the 1910's, 20's and 30's, but with a darker, psychedelic, sexual twist.
