THE PHILOSOPHY OF HORROR: A SYMPHONY OF FILM THEORY
dirs. Péter Lichter and Bori Máté, 2020
60 mins. Hungary.
WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 4 - 10 PM
MONDAY, OCTOBER 9 - 10 PM
WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 18 - 7:30 PM
Deriving its name from Noël Carroll’s seminal book on the poetics of horror, Lichter and Máté use excerpts from the text as framing devices to move from scholarly taxonomy to visceral affect as a pair of film prints are cut, scratched, painted, overlapped, and recombined to a point of mesmerizing and indecipherable grisliness. The victims of choice? A certain 80’s classic concerning a vengeful monster that kills teenagers in their dreams, and its sequel.
Screening with:
THE HORROR OF DRACULA
dir. Dalibor BarÃc, 2010
5 mins. Croatia.
ALL CATACOMBS ARE GRAY
dir. Dalibor BarÃc, 2013
20 mins. Croatia.
