UNSOUND 2012: film screenings
JIGOKU'S "THE END" FILM SEASON
October 13-18, 2012
For Unsound 2010 and 2011, audio/visual duo Jigoku put together a program of Horror and Sci-Fi gems screened largely from VHS at midnight. Now Jigoku are back for a third time, to create a film series for Unsound 2012, centered around the idea of the apocalypse. Screenings take place at midnight each day in Kino Pod Baranami and include an old-fashioned midnight-to-dawn movie marathon.
October 13/14, 00.00
ALL NIGHT APOCALYPSE - movie marathon
Unsound 2012 kicks off with a movie marathon curated by the A/V duo Jigoku, the start of a 6-day series. Feast upon the Orson Welles' narrated doomsday documentary The Late Great Planet Earth, the end of world atomic attack movie This Is Not A Test and trashy Mad Max style thrills in the Italian post-apocalypse flick Point of No Return Vol 1: Endgame. Also watch the 50's "educational" shorts Fall Out Shelter and Duck and Cover! on how to deal with a nuclear blast, and the animation Les Temps Morts about humanity's self-destruction.

THE PEOPLE WHO OWN THE DARK
dir. Leon Klimovsky, SP 1976, 94'
The People Who Own The Dark is a Spanish Omega Man style obscurity about a band of bourgeois survivors struggling to survive the fall out of a nuclear explosion, "peasant ghouls" and masked soldiers ordered to exterminate all "infectnts". Directed with grim, spooky proficiency from legendary Spanish horror auteur Klimovsky.
October 15/16, 00.00
POINT OF NO RETURN VOL 2: SHE
dir. Avi Nesher, IT 1982, 102'
The exploitation trash fest Point of No Return Vol 2: She is a schizophrenic mash up of barbarian movie, road warrior flick and every genre in the Grindhouse canon thrown at the wall. Two brothers enter a post apocalyptic wilderness to rescue their sister and encounter an array of freaks and monsters. Music by Judas Priest and Motorhead.
October 16/17, 00.00
LIFESPAN
dir. Sandy Whitelaw, NL/GB 1975, 82'
Lifespan is a tale of humanity's obsession with aging, where a doctor is plunged into a metaphysical quest to discover the secrets of eternity. A quirky, left field mediation with elements of sci-fi, horror and sleaze. Featuring a killer progressive electro score by Terry Riley.
October 17/18, 00.00
THE AFTERMAN
dir. Rob Van Eyck, BE 1985, 80'
Two decades after nuclear devastation, a lone man leaves his shelter to find a world ravaged by barbarity and sickness. A shocking mantra on humankind’s inhumanity (with no dialogue!), Van Eyck’s pessimistic tome is a raw, uncompromising howl of rage that is not for the sensitive or squeamish.
October 18/19, 00.00
A BOY AND HIS DOG
dir. LQ Jones, USA 1975, 91'
A pre-Miami Vice Don Johnson wanders the post devastation future with his telepathic dog ravaging whatever resources they can for survival. When an impotent but ‘civilized’ underground society is discovered our protagonist is used as a stud bearer to re-invigorate the human race. However, fate has another deadly card to deal...
