Crisostomo Juan Andaluz

A man. A funeral home. A roomful of flesh. And the consequences of pushing the limits of desire.

Experiments in Terror
Abstract & Experimental Horror
Length: 146 min

As if by some irresistible compulsion to witness the mortification of the flesh, EXPERIMENTS IN TERROR perversely unearths a celluloid sarcophagus of horrible, horrible beauty... a phantasmagoria of the uncanny, the dreadful, and the macabre... a pathological delirium of witchcraft, phantoms, and the undead. Using visionary cinematography and a masterful montage of rare film artifacts, these amoral auteurs probe every dark corner of the human psyche, with morbid curiousity and in lurid detail! This shocking program explodes the genre of the horror film, profoundly expanding the cinematic language of fear.

Includes:

  • "Outer Space - Peter Tscherkassky
    • Gavin Smith's Films Of The Year, Film Comment
    • Golden Gate Award - Best Short, San Francisco International Film Festival
    • Audience Award - Best Film, Cinematexas
  • "Tuning The Sleeping Machine" - David Sherman
    • Official Selection, 1997 Whitney Biennial; 1996 New York Film Festival; San Francisco International Film Festival; VIPER (Lucerne, Switzerland)

      Special Effects for Sustained Horror

Loss and regret through the eyes of a motherless young boy.

Afro Promo
Curated by Jenni Olson and Karl Knapper
131 min

Oh yeah! Alternatively trashy and poignant – and sometimes just plain hard to believe these days – here's an irresistible program of Black Cinema trailers that trace its evolution through its most crucial period, 1946-1976.

Filled with insights on race and social dynamics, this fascinating compendium of Coming Attractions explores an extensive range of stylistic approaches – Blaxploitation, Comedy, Music Bio, Plantation Drama, and more – all smartly organized by genre, or viewable as one outrageous joyride through motion picture history.

Beyond mere camp, these marvelously condensed gems crystallize a range of African-American identities and personalities, tracking the meteoric careers of Sidney Poitier, James Earl Jones, Billy Dee Williams, Richard Pryor, Pam Grier, et al, through their bold performances in movies both hugely popular and practically forgotten.

Be careful or you just might learn something.
"A sometimes funny, sometimes frightening look at Tinseltown's presentation of Blacks." – Edward Marguiles, Movieline

"Offers considerable fun, and food for thought." – Dennis Harvey, Variety

"A picture tells a thousand words, but a shameless movie trailer can say even more." – Barry Walters, SF Examiner

How much of our life are we in on and how much are we out of?

How innocent is this girl playing a strange game with three men on the
streets of Pasay?

Berlin Super 80
120 min

"Berlin Super80" A flashback of early 80s Berlin subculture featuring output by virtuosos of the city's underground movie scene who rediscovered Super 8 as an adequate outlet for their creative endeavours. Accompanied by a compilation of music, covering a huge range of styles and currents - from punk to ingenious dilettantes, this lavish package recalls the walled in city's unique feel and lifestyle. By no means a nostalgic review of times long gone, but rather an appraisal (with no claim to completeness) of a creative Berlin which to this day exerts its influence on Gemany pop culture and beyond.

Juan Manuel Alcarazaren
ULTRA
University of the Philippines
3min 30sec

Imagistic and experimental exploration on the nature of desire and how far you would go for the girl you love.
