Welcome to the retro future! A long time ago, in a galaxy before Star Wars, Science Fiction was a headier, stodgier beast, where big ideas, psychedelic ramblings and philosophical entreaties were the order of the day.
Filmbar70 invites you back to the future as we sample the delights of yore, from psychotronic weirdness to sexy trash in an all night Sci-Fi explosion guaranteed to expand the mind and frazzle the senses. All for a measly £9!
In association with Elefest - http://www.elefest.org/
Saturday the 4th of October, 10pm until the rising of the sun!
The Cinema Museum, 2 Dugard Way (off Renfrew Road) London SE11 4TH

Zardoz (’74)
Dir: John Boorman
Starring: Sean Connery, Charlotte Rampling
Who wants to live forever! Boorman’s utopic/dystopic fairy-tale overflows with grand designs and even grander ideas.
In a post-apocalyptic future, mankind is divided into two strands –Brutals who roam the wastelands, and Eternals who reside in the rarefied sanctuary of the Vortex. But centuries of stagnancy are about to be torn asunder when a brutal with a hidden agenda starts to rock the boat…
Featuring giant flying stone heads, matriarchal societies and James Bond in a red nappy, ‘Zardoz’ is a metaphoric tour de force that is one part whimsy, one part satire and all parts insanity.

Demon Seed (’77)
Dir: Donald Cammell
Starring: Julie Christie, Fritz Weaver
I’m alive! Computer love reaches its logical conclusion as Julie Christie battles a supreme intelligence that wants to taste the viscera of life itself.
Proteus IV is a super computer with a brain the size of a mountain. Not content to be bound to the circuit board, Proteus imprisons its creator’s wife in her own home in order to propose a sinister idea…
Directed by the tragic Donald Cammell, ‘Demon Seed’ presents a glimpse into a future best by surveillance and cold logic, with Christie personifying an all too human response.

Invasion of the Bee Girls (’73)
Dir: Denis Sanders
Starring: William Smith, Anitra Ford, Victoria Vetri
Le petite mort at its most literal - these ladies will love you to death!
In small town America, a spate of mysterious deaths unfold with a bizarre MO – all the victims are male and have apparently perished in the act of coutis. An investigation leads to a remarkable discovery – a hive of ‘Bee girls’ intent on enslaving the male populous!
Unabashed sexploitation trash, ‘Invasion…’ is wilfully and joyfully ‘wrong’ and presents Sci-Fi’s notorious demonising of the feminine impulse at its most hysterical.

Westworld (’73)
Dir: Michael Crichton
Starring: Yul Brynner, Richard Benjamin, James Brolin
He’ll be back! Proto ‘Terminator’ shenanigans abound in a classic sci-fi thriller directed by the late Michael Crichton.
Futuristic theme park Westworld is an automated paradise strictly governed by computers where even the darkest desires can be enacted and nothing could go possibly wrong. But we’ve all heard that one before, right?
Hedonism future style goes awry as Yul Brynner’s cybernetic gunslinger transforms into an embodiment of merciless computer programming.
