LIAF 2022: Late Night Bizarre (18+)

October 21, 2022 by LIAF

At The Horse Hospital book tickets
Online book tickets

It’s back. LIAF’s annual walk on the wild side featuring the most twisted films to emerge this year. We dug deep to find the best and this is what you find when you go down that far. The ever-popular Late Night Bizarre programme is a bunch of anti-classics guaranteed to be as far away from Disney as it’s possible to get. A dirty fistful of 16 of the weirdest, wildest, most demented films hand-picked from the 2,400 entered.

Animation is such an unbridled artform and it unleashes some of the most unleashable imaginations on the planet. The temptation to ‘go wide’ is played out time and time again by these animators as they bring to the screen barely imaginable scenarios, crazy battling juxtapositions and boil-your-eyes imagery.

Expect crazy giant felines, parasitic slugs, experiments in lobotomy, malfunctioning bodies, granny porn and a whole lot more.

This is the second of two programmes tonight – the Music Video Session screens first at 7:30pm.
