SUMMARY:Black Narcissus (1947)
DESCRIPTION:This explosive work about the conflict between the spirit and the flesh is the epitome of the sensuous style of Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger. A group of nuns – played by some of Britain’s finest actresses\, including Deborah Kerr\, Kathleen Byron\, and Flora Robson – struggle to establish a convent in the Himalayas\, while isolation\, extreme weather\, altitude\, and culture clashes all conspire to drive the well-intentioned missionaries mad. \n\n\n\nWith the help of set designer Alfred Junge and cinematographer Jack Cardiff (both rewarded with Academy Awards)\, Powell and Pressburger convincingly created a Himalayan convent on a Pinewood soundstage\, lending the proceedings a tense\, claustrophobic atmosphere \n\n\n\nThis screening will be Introduced by Victoria Brown. A horror lover\, Victoria writes for BanterFlix and FrightClub NI and is the founder of The Readers in the Rue Morgue Horror Book Club and Film Club. \n\n\n\nProgrammed as part of a season celebrating the work – and influence – of film-makers Powell and Pressburger.

SUMMARY:A Life on the Farm
DESCRIPTION:Join BanterFlix for a screening of Oscar Harding’s documentary A Life on the Farm at the Beanbag cinema as part of the Dark Hedges International Film Festival. \n\n\n\nWhen filmmaker Oscar Harding’s grandfather passed away in the rural English county of Somerset\, his family inherited an extraordinary videotape – a feature-length home movie from neighbour Charles Carson\, which can best be described as “Monty Python meets The Texas Chainsaw Massacre”. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBut there’s so much more to the man than his bizarre videos – Charles was an inventor\, an outsider artist\, and a pioneer of death positivity\, to name just a few of the filmmaking farmer’s achievements. \n\n\n\nCharles’ life and work are examined by those who knew him best\, as well as a whole new generation of fans who have been inspired by the legacy he left behind. \n\n\n\nA Life On The Farm is an exploration and celebration of Charles Carson and his movies\, rescued from obscurity\, which presents a moving and laugh-out-loud document of a time and place in danger of being lost to history. \n\n\n\nThis film is part of the new cinema strand of the festival’s programme
