Women & Institutions in 1970
DOOR OPEN 20H
20h30: BRD 1970, 75min. Italian with english subs
Outrageous sleaze about a woman (Uschi Glas!) who joins an exclusive
health clinic only to discover it's run by feminist cannibals! Peter Thomas made the soundtrack.
21h50: Italy 1970, 82min, english subs
Set in a Milan of the future under a totalitarian regime, Liliana Cavani's I cannibali is at
once inspired by Sophocles's tragedy of Antigone, and very definitely influenced by the
youth revolts and general zeitgeist of the late '60s and early '70s. The music is composed by Ennio Morricone.
In this repressive state,
the authorities chase down, brutalize, drive insane, and/or silence with bullets any
dissenters against the order. The dead bodies of such rebels are left where they fall, and
it is a criminal offense to touch or move them. Britt Ekland stars in the role of Antigone,
whose brother has been slain and left dead at the entrance of a bar in the city. She is
determined to move his body to a quiet place, and at the beginning of the film attempts to
enlist the aid of her boyfriend (Tomas Milian), who happens to be son of the prime minister.
Then she encounters a stranger from a strange land (Pierre Clémenti), who speaks no
tongue known to man, and who eats and draws fish. Together they first move the body of
Antigone's brother, and ferries it downriver to a peaceful final resting place; then they
embark on administering the same treatment to other fallen rebels' carcasses. For anyone
familiar with Sophocles' play, the final outcome is never in question, and Cavani follows her
two unlikely protagonists on their journey through the nightmarish machinery of the
totalitarian state, and also departs on a tangent to show the fate of Milian's character.

Der junge Dichter Tom X umgibt sich mit einer Gruppe exzentrischer
Typen. Einer von ihnen, Belotti, behauptet, er wäre Wissenschaftler und
hätte eine Formel entdeckt, mit der man die Welt beherrschen könnte. Bei
einem Abendessen erzählt Tom X der Gesellschaft die Anekdote, ohne zu
ahnen, wer sich alles für die Weltformel zu interessieren beginnt.
Thomas Schamonis Spielfilmdebüt ist ein überbordendes Werk: poetisch,
verwirrend, ungestüm, ein Manifest, ein Selbstzitat, eine Reflexion
über das Kino und all seine Möglichkeiten.

New Colours!
Doors open 20h
20h30: USA1969, 90 min.
The Bed-Sitting Room was a
massive flop on its release in 1969, but anyone with half-a-brain now
can see it's a brilliant, bleak, surreal, hilarious, and sometimes
spine-chilling post-apocalyptic epic. Director Richard Lester (How I Won
The War, A Hard Day's Night) and his crew of British comedy legends
(Peter Cool, Dudley Moore, Harry Secombe, Spike Milligan) spin the tale
of a nuclear war that lasts less than three minutes. The fallout
includes a cast of random characters, including a strange "nuclear"
family and a man of nobility who slowly changes into a furnished
apartment. Not much of a plot, but there's plenty of sight gags, wicked
dialogue, and incredible sets. If you're into Monty Python, this flick
is a virtual template. - from sickboy
22h10: Italy 1992, 90 min, english

rock star, Angel, and a gypsy. Mixed in are copious music videos,
