What does cult mean in film? What are cult classics? In our CULT programme, we let us be guided by hordes of devoted fans, extensive subcultures and film history, which proves which films have reached their cult status.

From underground and camp cinema to B-films and even Z-films, “so bad, they’re good”. In our CULT series, controversy won’t be shunned, censorship will be made fun of, guilty pleasures get their spot, and nostalgia and exploitation go hand in hand. Taboo-breaking for one, excessive for another, but one thing is certain: CULT leaves no one indifferent.

HIGHLIGHTS

John D., a retired spy, lives a peaceful life in a luxury hotel at the Côte d’Azur. His glamorous neighbour reminds him of his wild years as a secret agent in the 1960s, a time full of adventure and danger. When she disappears under mysterious circumstances, John is confronted with his past and old demons. REFLECTION IN A DEAD DIAMOND reunites nostalgia, excitement and visual wealth to a hypnotizing visual experience.

This month, we’re putting horror icon Pinhead in the spotlight during our cult horror night FREAKY FRIDAY! We screen HELLRAISER and HELLBOUND: HELLRAISER II in a double feature.
