Incredibly Strange

For more than a quarter of a century, Ant Timpson – founder of the notorious ‘Incredibly Strange Film Festival’ – has annually curated a programme of cinema provocations from all corners of the globe.

These dangerously demented, violently funny and sometimes just wholly WTF curated cine-creepers will burrow into your sub-conscious for a lifetime of messed-up memories.

Cerdita

Carlota Pereda

Smoking Causes Coughing

Fumer fait tousser
