VIDEODROME (with DoP Mark Irwin Q&A)

Black Maria Film Collective

We at Black Maria return for our first screening of 2022 - David Cronenberg's seminal and surreal 1983 body horror, VIDEODROME.

Johnny Ma Studios

Join us on the evening of Friday, February 18, as Black Maria returns to host our first screening of 2022 - David Cronenberg's techno-surrealist psychosexual body horror Videodrome!LONG LIVE THE NEW FLESH!Max Renn is the president of a local UHF TV station that specialises in extreme, sensationalist, pornographic programming. Looking for the next major programme for his station, he happens upon the pirated signal of Videodrome , a snuff show depicting random people being tortured and slowly murdered. From there his life becomes altered in the most surreal of ways. His television becomes 'alive' and weirdly sexual, he grows a large vagina in his abdomen, and his hand slowly becomes a tumescent handgun.FIRST IT CONTROLS YOUR MIND. THEN IT DESTROYS YOUR BODY.A film that defies explanation, Videodrome must be seen to be believed. With absolutely grotesque, balls-to-the-walls practical FX work by Rick Baker and a truly surrealist narrative that refuses to explain or apologise for itself, we implore you all, for your own sakes - mark off February 18 on your calendar and buy a ticket to Videodrome!**SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT**Videodrome cinematographer and frequent Cronenberg collaborator Mark Irwin has kindly agreed to do a live Zoom Q&A after the film! Buy your tickets and ready your questions!
