| [Nettime-nl] Jess Franco never dies [zaterdag bij WORM, Rotterdam] |
JESS FRANCO NEVER DIES - FILM NIGHT in memoriam Jess Franco 1930-2 April 2013 ZA 6/ APR 2013 Open: 20:00u Begin: 20:30u Einde: 01:00u A spontaneous video night in a backroom of WORM. At least three films by Jess Franco will be screened: Female Vampire (1973) followed by films of the visitors' choice from a broad selection of alternatives. This Tuesday, April 2nd, film director Jess Franco died. WORM & Cultvideotheek Next Page celebrate his creative genius and erotomanic obsessiveness. During his career, Franco directed almost 200 Eurotrash and sexploitation films. Often, he also acted in them, operated the camera and composed their music. Like noone else, Franco utilized commercial grindhouse filmmaking for artistic-economic improvisation and the creation of his own obsessive and surreal universe. Working under lowest budgets and greatest constraints, and constantly on the run from creditors, his passion for good food and an expensive lifestyle drove him into excessive filmmaking. Often, he shot three or more films simultaneously without even his actors and crew knowing. Join WORM in a celebration of this free spirit and one-of-a-kind eccentric! Entrance is free with a visitor's password; please mail florian@worm.org to obtain it.
