July Films by The Outer Church

Despite a renaissance in weird fiction and ongoing experimental cinema niches with disturbing sights, events that capture a truly uncanny atmosphere remain rare. However, Brighton, England is set to host an event by The Outer Church later this month which follows in the haunting footsteps of Lovecraft and other weird fiction artists. Here's what The Outer Church's curator has to say:

For its July 2011 edition, The Outer Church explores the derelict spaces of urban folklore with the first UK screening of contemporary uncanny masterpiece Marble Hornets (Season One). The most accomplished and acclaimed product of the Slender Man mythos, this immersive DIY phenomenon has spawned several imitations and attracted praise from revered film critic, Roger Ebert. The musical segment of the event promises to be equally compelling. As Sinneslöschen, Astrud Steehouder aka Paper Dollhouse (newly signed to Bird/Finders Keepers) and Bound Toy of Old Apparatus (DEEP MEDi) present a live collaboration taking in dryad psychedelia, desolate drone and electromagnetic interference, conjuring nightmares from thin air.

Venue:

Date/time: 

14th July 2011, 7.30pm
