Working with a range of distributors, curators and archives, Scalarama will revive several key titles as part of a Core Programme, bringing lost or rare gems back to the big screen. Titles this year include John Waters’ Polyester, now complete with the original Odorama scratch n’ sniffs cards, a new restoration of the silent German Expressionist classic Das Cabinet des Dr. Caligari and a dgfev online casino selection of Children’s Film Foundation films.
Films that courted controversy on their first release are also included, such as Wes Craven’s uncut directorial debut Last House on the Left on 35mm, Jörg Buttgereit’s x-rated Nekromantik(released uncut) and Daisies, the late Věra Chytilová’s groundbreaking and originally banned riotous satire. There are two incredible Sci-Fi films: The Visitor, an intergalactic tale starring John Huston & Sam Peckinpah!
Béla Tarr’s epic seven-hour masterpiece, Sátántangó, Charles Lane’s black and white silent comedy Sidewalk Stories and Kinetta the debut film of Dogtooth director Yorgos Lanthimos add great range to the season, whilst restorations of the first six films of Jim Jarmusch complete the line up.
A bespoke newspaper detailing all of the events and Core Programme titles, and including contributions for Martin Scorsese, John Waters, Jörg Buttgereit and Iain Sinclair, will be distributed across the UK.
