SCREENING of C.T. DREYER'S silent masterpiece VAMPYR (1924) with A NEW SCORE by STEVEN SEVERIN (from Siouxie and the Banshees) >>Mermaid Arts Centre, Bray, sunday 20 May 2012 A visual meditation on death, lesbian desire, and the power of cinema to make miracles and ghosts
You will remember that in 2010, for our "Silent LGBTQ" film season, the Film Qlub revisited the rarely screened classic gay film "Michael" (1924), directed by Danish master Carl Theodor Dreyer. Dreyer's experimental silent film "Vampyr" (1932) is also one of our favourite films. It has a lesbian scene (loosely inspired by the classic lesbian vampire novel "Carmilla", published by Irish writer Sheridan le Fanu in 1872), and, arguably, a gay male subtext. It is an absolutely beautiful film, very brave, and very original. Steven Severin, of classic punk group "Siouxie and the Banshees", has written a new score for Dreyer's "Vampyr"! There is an opportunity to hear it at the special screening of the film in the Mermaid Arts Centre, Bray, on 20th May 2012. If you are interested in silent films, if you are interested in experimental films, if you are interested in LGBTQ films, or if you simply love GOOD films, this is one for the calendar. .................................................................................................................................................................. And... two more! The IFI is doing a retrospective of Carl Theodor Dreyer, one of our favourite directors. At our silent gay season, we offered a very rare screening of his gay film Michael (1924). For those of you who missed it at the Qlub, or want to watch it again, check out: http://www.ifi.ie/film/michael-2/ ... We are even more excited about another Dreyer film in the IFI retrospective, The Passion of Joan of Arc (1922), with an absolutely stunning performance by Renée Jeanne Falconetti (pictured above), and filmed with an intensity befitting the subject.
Information on this screening, which features live music accompaniment, can be found here: http://www.ifi.ie/film/the-passion-of-joan-of-arc/ We saw the film with live music a good few years ago in the IFI, and it was an unforgettable experience. .....................................................................................................................................................................................................

 PRESS RELEASE ‘Faster Pussycat Kill! Kill!’ star to introduce Midnight Movies / Friday 13th May / The Sugar Club
Midnight Movies, a new series of midnight cult cinema screenings, is delighted to announce that the star of ‘Faster Pussycat Kill! Kill!’ Lori Williams will be introducing the film via Skype on Friday the 13th of May in the Sugar Club, Dublin.
The audience will have the chance to find out first hand exactly what it was like filming one of the biggest cult films ever with one of the world’s most notorious film directors, Russ Meyer.
Midnight Movies will bridge the gap between conventional cinema and late-night fun, playing the best of grindhouse, blaxploitation, exploitation, horror, underground, and cult classics. The opening night brings the must-see cult film ‘Faster, Pussycat! Kill Kill!’ back to the big screen. The first film in the history of cinema where a woman kills a man with her bare hands, ‘Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!’ has been described as "beyond a doubt, the best movie ever made” by cult film director John Waters (Pink Flamingos, Cry-Baby). The film is unflinchingly exploitative, and features gratuitous violence, sexuality, provocative gender roles, campy dialogues and three extremely outrageous, thrill seeking go-go dancers. Tura Satana, Haji, and Lori Williams star as Varla, Rosie and Billy who, while racing cars in the desert, meet a young couple. After taking care of the boyfriend, they kidnap the girlfriend and head on a spree of mayhem. The screening will be followed by a special cult film retro set by DJ Shrem (Andrews Sisters’ Brothers). Midnight Movies launches with ‘Faster Pussycat! Kill! Kill!’ on Friday the 13th of May, midnight at the Sugar Club 8 Lower Leeson Street, Dublin 2. Tickets priced €9 / €7 students (strictly over 18). Doors open at 11pm. Film starts: Midnight followed by DJ till late.
