MIDNIGHT MOVIES:FROM THE MARGIN TO THE MAINSTREAM
(Stuart Samuels / 2005 / USA-Canada / 86 mins / Cert 18)
(Wed 12th – Fri 14th / 8pm / £4/3)

Documenting the revolutionary period in cinema when underground movies went overground – albeit nocturnally – MIDNIGHT MOVIES is a celebration of some of the best-loved cult films of the 60s and 70s. Featuring interviews with key players and filmmakers such as David Lynch, John Waters and Alejandro Jodorowsky, the film shows how six films from the marginal world of the counter-culture changed the way we watch movies forever.
The screening of MIDNIGHT MOVIES heralds a return of the midnight movie as a regular feature of the Cube programme – starting on Friday the 14th September with the film that started the phenomenon: EL TOPO.
