THE BLOODETTES aka Les saignantes d. Jean-Pierre Bekolo, 2005 + Panel & Short film at Picturehouse Hackney (27 OCT 19:30).

“A special, spooky screening of THE BLOODETTES followed by a panel discussion led by Aleah Scott, Picturehouse Audience Development Assistant and Founder of FEELS, and featuring journalist and podcaster, Laverne Caprice and Desta Haile, Director of Film Africa. Together they will be exploring the resurgence of mainstream Black Horror, the particular importance of seeing Black stories represented through the genre and the way in which horror fosters a radical, political and creative platform for marginalised voices.”

*THE SMALL PRINT: Opinions author’s own. // As accurate as we could make it. Apologies for any errors. Updates & corrections will be made to the online version only. // Event dates/times/formats are subject to change by the venue/organiser. Events may already be sold out at the time of posting, so please click quickly. // We try to list as many original format screenings as we can (8 to 70MM), but sometimes formats change due to age of the print, availability, logistics etc, so please check ahead with your venue if the format is your thing. // All images are used in the spirit of fair use for reporting & review – no ownership is implied or intended / unless otherwise credited to RADIANT CIRCUS as the original rights holder. We will remove any images immediately upon request – just get in touch. // We don’t filter our listings by age/certification: all readers & subscribers should therefore be 18+. // Finally, we always try to follow The Carny Code by “not screwing up anyone else’s game”, but everyone can make mistakes… If something does go wrong, we will always do our best to put it right. //.
