introduction

For Unsound 2010 and our HORROR theme, UK audio/visual duo Jigoku put together a program of bloodthirsty gems screened from VHS at midnight. They included the weird, the forgotten and the legendary. The program was a resounding success.
Now Jigoku are back, to create a film series for Unsound 2011, centered on obscure and mind-bending Sci-Fi cinema.
Screenings take place at midnight each day in Kino Pod Baranami on Krakow's Main Square. They include an old-fashioned midnight to dawn movie marathon to kick off the series.

 

We are also creening the documentary "In Search of The Unsound," produced by PlayGround Docs.

Directed by Emilio Guerra and G.Sal-Lari, this film was shot during Unsound Krakow 2010.

The filmmakers describe it as follows:

"Horror is an essential element in modern music that aspires to break sonic boundaries and generate new spaces for expression and emotions. The Polish Unsound festival, celebrated every autumn in the cold climate of Krakow, knows that all to well, and that's why the 2012 edition had the concept of horror as its central theme, with artists such as Ben Frost and Demdike Stare. We went with the intention of exploring horror's place in music, led by journalist Philip Sherburne, our guide from place to place, across artist to artist, and who led our reflections through the labyrinth of emotions that is Unsound."

“The Man Who Saved The World” (1982, TR, dir. Cetin Inanc) is a bewildering, mind melting rip off of “Star Wars” that defies description. Featuring Turkish action star Cuneyt ‘Lionman’ Arkin, it is a zero budget film, shot in a psychedelic haze with a lunatic editor on amphetamines. The score is mash up of electronic sound FX and ripped cues from “Raiders of the Lost Ark” and “Flash Gordon”!

“The Earth Dies Screaming” (1964, UK, dir. Terence Fisher) is a low budget Sci-Fi wonder. Earth is invaded by deadly alien killer robots. The denizens of a public house barricade themselves in, where tensions rise. Meanwhile, the once friendly locals are rising as walking corpses. From legendary Hammer icon Terence Fisher, this is much more than a routine B picture.
