: ons 3. maj 2006 10:20Coming from 12. May to 1. June:
A DRUGS-ON-FILM FESTIVAL
...at Husets Biograf, Magstræde 14 / Tel: 33324077. For the first time in Denmark, all three Pusher films will be shown together in sequence. In addition to this are weekend screenings of classic American exploitation (drug) films that touch upon genres such as the 30?s Drug Scare melodrama, Blaxploitation and the punk underground films of Jon Moritsugu. From the mean streets of Copenhagen to the psychedelic nightclubs of 60?s Los Angeles to the mysterious subterranean tunnels of San Francisco?s Chinatown, drug cinema is ticket to the outermost reaches of human imagination. These films combine brutal reality with psychedelic special effects and soundtracks that veer from driving 60?s rock to experimental noise-scapes. You?ll never be the same again.

17:00 PUSHER
