The Art of Self-Harm

poster_theartofselfharm

The Art of Self-Harm is an uncompromising and unflinching look at the art collective known as “White Gardenia”. A group of artists who explore their cathartic expressions through acts of blood drinking, self-mutilation, and other forms of paraphilia. This documentary takes an in-depth look at this group's body of work, as well as conducts detailed interviews with group members to understand the inspirations and motivations behind their art. A warning is in order about the explicit content, which might also be a recommendation to some.

Shorts Final Girls Berlin (1)

Our Berlin partners present a best of shorts compilation from their amazing festival. 

Final Girls Berlin Film Festival showcases horror cinema that’s directed, written, or produced by women and non-binary filmmakers. They are committed to creating space for female voices and visions, whether monstrous, heroic or some messy combination of the two, in the horror genre. We've seen more than enough representations of women as beautified victims and constructions of male fantasies or anxieties, and that is why they are working towards the primacy of women as subjects and storytellers in horror. 

The “final girl” horror trope refers to the last woman standing in a horror film, who manages to escape or defeat the film’s villain/monster. While “final girl” is an ambivalently feminist figure in film criticism, often desexualized and tainted with the male director’s moralization and punishment of other female characters’ behaviour, the festival utilises this figure as a starting point for carving out space for new and undiscovered positions of power for women in horror, not only in front of but also behind the camera.

H.P. Lovecraft's The Deep Ones

After suffering the loss of a child, Alex and her husband Petri decide to take a much-needed holiday. Once they've touched down in the seaside city of Oxnard, they are spirited to a gorgeous beachfront bed & breakfast where they are welcomed by the charming if enigmatic host.

What begins as an alluring vacation from their problems soon devolves into a series of bizarre occurrences when the peculiar locals begin to show their true colors. While Alex struggles to keep a grip on her sanity, Petri finds himself increasingly drawn to the mysterious Mr. Marsh and his cabal of scantily-clad companions.

An archaic evil has been summoned from the shores of this quiet crabbing community, one that has designs on Alex. As she is sucked into a maelstrom of murder, mind control and maternal horror, she will have to confront the abyss head on or lose everything she holds dear.

In the wicked vein of Brian Yuzna's Society and the classic Rosemary's Baby, Chad Ferrin's The Deep Ones ably explores the murky depths of fellowship and motherhood through the crimson lens of H.P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu mythos.

In the winter of 2011, after a controversial election, Vladimir Putin was reinstalled as president of Russia. In response, hundreds of thousands of citizens rose up all over the country to challenge the legitimacy of Putin’s rule. Among them were a group of young, radical-feminist punk rockers, better known as Pussy Riot. Wearing coloured balaclavas, tights, and summer dresses, they entered Moscow’s most venerated cathedral and dared to sing “Mother Mary, Banish Putin!” Now they have become victims of a “show” trial.

Set ten years after the most peaceful revolution in United States history, a revolution in which a socialist government gains power, this films presents a dystopia in which the issues of many progressive groups - minorities, liberals, gay rights organizations, feminists - are ostensibly dealt with by the government, and yet there are still problems with jobs, with gender issues, with governmental preference and violence. In New York City, in this future time, a group of women decide to organize and mobilize, to take the revolution farther than any man - and many women - ever imagined in their lifetimes.

BUTFF is glad to present this restoration of an undiscovered cult classic that fits perfectly in this year's REBEL HELL theme.
