To visit website/trailer click - Machete Maidens Unleashed!
Karate-kickin' midgets! Paper-mâché monsters! Busty babes with blades! Filipino genre films of the '70s and '80s had it all.
Boasting cheap labour, exotic scenery and non-existent health and safety regulations, the Philippines was a dreamland for exploitation filmmakers whose renegade productions were soon engulfing drive-in screens around the globe like a tidal schlock-wave!
At last, the all-too-often overlooked world of drive-in filler from Manila gets the Mark Hartley (NOT QUITE HOLLYWOOD) treatment in Machete Maidens Unleashed!. This is the ultimate insiders' account of a faraway backlot where stunt men came cheap, plot was obsolete and the make-up guy was packin' heat!
Machete Maidens Unleashed! features interviews with cult movie icons Roger Corman, Joe Dante, John Landis, Sid Haig, Eddie Romero and a large assembly of cast, crew and critics, each with a jaw-dropping story to tell about filmmaking with no budget, no scruples, no boundaries and - more often than not - no clothes.

- Brotherhood - Gay Danish Neo-Nazis in Love!...Yep *Screening Nov 6th 2pm at Tribal and Nov 10th 6pm Tribal
Brotherhood is a special plea for tolerance of and compassion for…neo-Nazis. In this supremely wrongheaded Danish film, Lars (Thure Lindhardt) joins such a group, after being denied an army promotion for supposedly making gay advances to his troops. He becomes roommates with one of its members, Jimmy (David Dencik), and eventually the two fall in love, a secret they must share as they join their group on nighttime attacks on gays and Iraqi refugees.
- Rubber - A disgruntled, psychic rubber tyre, goes on a murderous rampage... Can anybody say 'instant classic?' *Screening 6th Nov 11:30 Tribal and 11th Nov 6pm Tribal
Would we lie to you? This movie is every bit as weird as you'd expect, but it won independent filmmaker Quentin Dupieux (aka electronic music producer Mr Oizo) a 2010 Critics' Week screening at Cannes this year, and achieved instant cult status.
After having his affections for a beautiful woman rebuffed, the all-weather protagonist takes out his anger management issues on everyone he encounters using his deadly telekinetic powers.
An absurdist road movie, Rubber goes where others fear to tread.

It's in the form of escaped Aboriginal convict Jimmy Conway (Tommy Lewis, The Chant Of Jimmy Blacksmith), but this neo-western isn't just about black-white race relations in the Australian bush. It centres on the blooding of a young policeman (Ryan Kwanten of HBO's True Blood), new to this small country town, who has to deal with Conway's bloody campaign of revenge against the local cops.
Director Patrick Hughes brings us a contemporary take on the western genre, creating a film that is often violent and blood-soaked, but never predictable.
