An International Festival of Painfully Boring Films 20 - 24 April

Difficult to describe, a film festival with a difference, this is a selection of films have been chosen because they were considered to have "commercial handicaps" - too long, too political, too obscure, too odd ...  so, not necessarily painful or boring, maybe just a little bit challenging.


The films are at the Varietés cinema. On Saturday there's a cineconcert with a Danish/Swedish silent black and white film from 1922 "Häxan, la Sorcellerie à travers les âges", censored since it's release, which is said to have been influenced by the paintings of Bosch.

The festival runs from 21 to 24 April, details on the Chiant Website

I've seen Haxan. It's not boring. More terminally strange.
