Freak Orlando at Weird Weekend
August 31, 2019 @ 6:45 pm - 9:00 pm
Free – £8
In the form of a “small theater of the world”, a history of the world from its beginnings to our day, including the errors, the incompetence, the thirst for power, the fear, the madness, the cruelty and the commonplace, in a story of five episodes by Ulrike Ottinger.
A rare chance to see Ottinger’s wonderful, bizarre reworking of Virginia Woolf’s Orlando and Tod Browning’s Freaks, starring Delphine Seyrig, Eddie Constantine, and Jackie Raynal. According to Shock Cinema Magazine, “A lost movie that lives up to its hype… A fever dream reimagining of Greek mythology, The Spanish Inquisition, and our modern life.”
Presented with Matchbox Cineclub for Weird Weekend, a whole weekend of strange and unseen cinema from around the world. WEIRD WEEKEND brings orphans, outcasts and outliers from across time and space, with a host of special guests, Q&As and events, to the Centre for Contemporary Arts, Glasgow.
