Special screenings featuring filmmakers, actors, critics and experts sharing insights with both introductions and also full audience Q&As.
Legendary comedian and TV host turned director Takeshi Kitano writes, directs, and stars in his first and only American co-production. Disgraced yakuza Yamamoto (Kitano) seeks refuge in Los Angeles, reconnecting with his younger half-brother Ken (Claude Maki) after his clan suffered defeat at the hands of a rival gang back in Tokyo. Cool and detached, Brother marries Japanese and American disillusionment in Kitano’s signature violent minimalist style through the growing bonds between Yamamoto and the multinational gang that he cultivates in L.A.
Brother is featured as part of Gangsters Have Feelings Too, a season exploring the sensitive gangster film. The season is presented with the National Film and Television School’s Film Studies, Programming and Curation MA.
"She's evil… and not just high school evil.”
A demon possesses high-school It-girl Jennifer (Megan Fox) after she is kidnapped and sacrificed in a failed occult ritual. Bloodthirsty, she seeks revenge through any man who crosses her path, but is challenged when her best friend, Needy (Amanda Seyfried), won´t stand idly by as the body-count rises.
Campy, funny, horrific and truly impressive. After initially receiving mixed critical reception, Jennifer´s Body has become a horror and teen cult-classic as queer and female audiences have reclaimed the title. Ahead of its time, the film is still referenced in Halloween costumes, fan-theories, and video edits as audiences are hungrier than ever for the iconic maneater, Jennifer Check!
Jennifer´s Body is featured as part of MANEATERS, a season exploring the female supernatural on screen. The season is presented with the National Film and Television School’s Film Studies, Programming and Curation MA.
“She Loved Men... To Death.”
Addicted to love, Elaine – the love witch – casts love and sex spells to seek her perfect man, finding herself with more dead bodies than she does a long-term partner…
A visually-striking, humorous and thought-provoking film by the continuously playful Anna Biller, The Love Witch has caused immense debate by audiences through its feminist themes. Visually drenched in 1970s fashion and cinematography, the film´s style feels as magical as the love witch herself.

Spotted and romantically pursued by the leader of a matriarchal vampire trio, down-on-her-luck Lena is bitten and turned into one of them. Overcoming the initial shock, she finds the eternal lifestyle agreeable – riches, partying, fashion – all until the bloodthirst of her companions become too much.
Sink your teeth into this rarely screened vampire film, Wir sind die Nacht! Not officially released in the UK, director Dennis Gansel offers a campy and biting adventure set in the heart of Berlin. The film both plays with traditional vampire rules and introduces new, playful ways to depict the immortal creature. Some fans claim that they would do “anything for lesbian vampire Nina Hoss”, and for the avid vampire fan, this film has become a must-watch.

“I get this ache... And I, I thought it was for sex, but it's to tear everything to fucking pieces.”
A wild and bloodthirsty hound has ravaged through the small town of Bailey Downs, attacking the neighbourhood's pet dogs. When the two teenage outcasts, the Fitzgerald sisters, stumble upon the creature one night, their lives change forever as Ginger is bitten, and her body starts to change.
A true feast of practical effects, 2000s grunge, and snappy one-liners; Ginger Snaps has been credited in hindsight as a predecessor to the “maneater” supernatural woman most famously seen in Jennifer´s Body (2009). A coming-of-age story told in a fresh perspective; for maybe the true terror lies in growing up, or maybe it lies in the bloodthirsty hound who calls herself your sister.
Ginger Snaps is featured as part of MANEATERS, a season exploring the female supernatural on screen. The season is presented with the National Film and Television School’s Film Studies, Programming and Curation MA.
