A TRIBUTE TO NIKOLA TESLA
Nikola Tesla TESLA MASTER OF LIGHTNING
PBS documentary, USA, 2004.
In-depth television documentary about the life, times, and legacy of Nikola Tesla, American inventor and visionary. Tesla invented or developed many of the electrical technologies which form the basis of modern life, but his visionary genius and technical skill was countered by his lack of business acumen and eccentric personality. After dying penniless in 1943, his "missing papers" regarding the construction of a "death ray" became the focus of international intrigue. His research on particle beam weapons led to several American and Soviet military research programs, including the Strategic Defense Initiative, known as SDI or "Star Wars".

THE SECRET OF NIKOLA TESLA
Directed by Krsto Papi, Yugoslavia, 1980.
A bewitching film about one of the world's most gifted but unknown scientific discoverers, the genius, born in 1856 in the village of Smiljan, in Croatia,who ushered in the age of electricity. Tesla's inventions were stolen but his name nevertheless remains legendary for his overwhelming scientific contributions. He is quoted as saying "Science is but a perversion of itself unless it has as its ultimate goal the betterment of humanity." This biopic attempts to clear up the mystery that surrounds him and his over 700 patents and numerous discoveries in electricity inluding, design of the first hydro-electric power plant in Niagara Falls, discovery of radio waves, x-rays and the fluorescent light. This film was produced by Orson Welles who plays the part of Tesla's patron, J.P. Morgan.

PORT OF SHADOWS [LE QUAI DES BRUMES]
Directed byMarcel Carn, France, 1938.
Life's a rotten business, says Jean, a deserter who arrives at night in Le Havre, looking to leave the country. He lucks into civilian clothes, a little bit of money, a passport, and a dog, and he also meets Nelly, a 17-year-old who's grown up too fast. She's the object of lust of men: including a boyfriend Maurice, her putative protector Zabel, and Lucien, a local hood. Jean falls for her, faces down Lucien, and gives her courage to stand on her own feet. A ship is leaving for Venezuela; can at least one of them be on it, or is that just a dream?

20:00
VIVA
Directed by Anna Biller, USA, 2007.
Written, directed and starring underground marvel Anna Biller, "VIVA" plays like a lost sexploitation film, following a frustrated housewife's explosive sexual revolution. A gem of pure esthetic genius celebrating the voyeuristic innocence of 60's and 70's sexploitation. Made with a kaleidoscope of saturated colours and exquisite period detail. Psychedelic music, go-go dancers, nudist camps, orgies, bisexuality, sadism and hippies on acid are just some of the elements that made "Viva" the opening film of the 2007 New York Underground Film Festival. An original and delightfully bizarre cinematic experience!

SCHOOLGIRL REPORT: Volume 1 - What Parents Don't Think Is Possible
Directed by Ernst Hofbauer, Germany, 1970
Disguised as a serious documentary on the changing sexual mores of 1970s German youth, SCHOOLGIRL REPORT doesn't take long to drop its mask, revealing its softcore sleaziness via a series of [sometimes involuntarily humoristic] kinky vignettes. The first of 12 sequels and a classic of Teutonic sexploitation, "Schulmädchen-Report" is an amusing and titillating dip into the voyeuristic innocence of 60's nudie cinema.

20:00
PRUIMENBLOESEM
Directed by Willem van Batenburg, NL, 1982.
The legendary first Dutch full length XXX rated movie got recently re-released in cinemas after 25 years of oblivion. "PRUIMENBLOESEM" made history for its high production value [many mainstream professionals worked at the film under false names] and for creating one of the first strong leading female characters in adult cinema [Diana de Koning]. Myriam's sexual encounters will be introduced by two rarely shown shorts of director Willem van Batenburg.
After the screening, van Batenburg will attend a Q+A session and read passages from his book on the making of the film and the history of the Dutch pornographic industry.


22:00
DEVIL IN MISS JONES
Directed by Gerard Damiano, USA, 1972.
Damiano's second feature after the smashing success of "Deep Throat" kickstarted the golden age of 70's American Porn and remains a brilliant example of that brief moment in which mainstream cinema and the emerging pornographic industry flirted with each other and almost met. Dramatic, atmospheric, and visionary at moments, an iconic title of 70's Porno Chic.

Entrance 5 euro per screening, 10 euro per programme
20 euro for 4 day festival pass - presales from The Lab. Spaarpotsteeg 2, Amsterdam.

TOKYO X EROTICA
Directed by Takahisa Zeze, Japan, 2001.
One of the most controversial Pinku titles from one of the "Four Heavenly Kings of Pink Cinema" Takahisa Zeze . Love, death, extreme sexual encounters and rabbit-headed maniacs in a nihilistic, almost apocalyptic setting. The Japanese way to softcore pornography, disorienting and over the top!

18:00
BREAKING ALL THE RULES: The Cinema of Richard Kern.
Highly acclaimed New York underground filmmaker and photographer Richard Kern has been exploring the aesthetics of extreme sex, violence, and perversion in his work since the mid 80's. Kern's lens focuses the seedier, drug-ravaged side of NYC accompanied by bohemians such as David Wojanarowicz, Lydia Lunch, Nick Zedd and Lung Leg. A not to miss opportunity to witness the rebellious, uncompromising genius of this legendary underground icon.

20:00
MARIA BEATTY FETISH FANTASIES
Inspired by German expressionist cinema as much as by French surrealism, Maria Beatty's internationally renowned productions set new artistic standards in erotic filmmaking, granting her acknowledgement and respect beyond the small world of fetish cinema. Dreamlike visions which explore the depths of female sexuality and fantasy with a subversive eroticism and the highest refinement. Score composed by John Zorn.
Q+A session with Maria Beatty will follow the screening.


22:00
DESTRICTED
Directed by Marina Abramovic, Matthew Barney, Larry Clark, Gaspar Noé and others, UK / USA, 2006.
Seven internationally acclaimed directors, seven provoking films. Seven shorts to try and crossbreed the world of adult film with that of legit cinema.

CINEMA DERIVE : BRUNO DUMONT
La Vie De Jesus LA VIE DE JESUS
Directed by Bruno Dumont, France, 1997.
In a small town in the north of France, the local teenagers go around aimlessly in circles. Freddy is indifferent, and his relationship with his girlfriend Marie seems to be entirely about mechanical sex. Things turn violent when an Arab boy flirts with Marie, and Freddy explodes in vengeance. Harsh, but also transcendental, this is a film made by the most important filmmaker working in French cinema today.
