Directed by David Cronenberg
Starring James Woods, Debbie Harry, Sonja Smits

1983 | 90m | USA | (18) | 1.85:1 | Mono

“You'll forgive me if I don't stay around to watch. I just can't cope with the freaky stuff.”

Last year, David Cronenberg’s THE FLY wowed the GRINDFEST crowd, this year we’re delighted to bring another of his timeless classics to the festival.

Amoral TV station president Max Renn, on a constant quest to find boundary-pushing new content, is exposed to hyper-violent imagery via an illicit broadcast channel. Instantly enamoured by the footage, he becomes obsessed with finding its source. As he watches more and delves deeper into the underground world that controls the footage, his sense of reality begins to warp, and disturbing hallucinations manifest in the flesh. Is Renn losing his mind or experiencing the next step in human and technological evolution? Cronenberg’s graphic body-horror is on full display as he explores the melding of technology and human biology.

Dirt In The Gate Movies Presents GRINDFEST – NEW YORK NINJA (1984/2021) - [DCP]

Directed by John Liu, Kurtis Spieler
Starring Don Wilson, Michael Berryman, Linnea Quigley

1984/2021 | 85m | USA | (18) | 1.85:1

“Why? Why is this happening? Why won't anyone do anything? I don't understand. Why? Why? Why?”

John is just an average man working as a sound technician for a New York City news station, until one day his pregnant wife is brutally murdered after witnessing the kidnapping of a young woman in broad daylight. Turning to the police for help, John soon learns that the city is overrun with crime and the police are too busy to help. Dressing as a white ninja, John takes to the streets as a sword wielding vigilante hell bent on cleaning up the streets of the city he once loved by ridding it of muggers, pickpockets, rapists, and gang members. However, in John’s quest for justice, he soon finds himself the target of every criminal in the city, including a mysterious villain known only as the Plutonium Killer. Will John survive to become the hero that New York City so desperately needs?

Originally directed by and starring martial arts actor John Liu (The Secret Rivals, Invincible Armor) in his only American production, New York Ninja was filmed entirely on 35mm in 1984, but the project was abandoned during production resulting in all original sound materials, scripts, and treatments going missing. 35 years later, Vinegar Syndrome acquired the original unedited camera negative and painstakingly constructed and completed the film. Enlisting the voice talents of genre favorites: Don “The Dragon” Wilson (Bloodfist, Whatever it Takes), Linnea Quigley (Return of the Living Dead, Nightmare Sisters), Michael Berryman (The Hills have Eyes, Auntie Lee’s Meat Pies), Vince Murdocco (Night Hunter, LA Wars), Matt Mitler (The Mutilator, Battle for the Lost Planet), Leon Isaac Kennedy (Lone Wolf McQuade, Penitentiary), Ginger Lynn Allen (The Devil’s Rejects, Vice Academy), and Cynthia Rothrock (China O’Brien, Martial Law) .

Restored from the original camera elements, New York Ninja is finally available in all its ridiculous over-the-top glory for the first time ever after spending four decades in film obscurity. Ticket Information Single ticket: £14.50 Included in Grindfest Festival Pass: Click here to purchase

SIMON YATES – PLEASURE & PAIN

Presented by Speakers from the Edge

‘Touching the Void’ mountaineer, Simon Yates, is a veteran of over eighty expeditions to high/remote mountains around the globe and shows no signs of slowing down. This is his story of the last decade, of new adventures and climbs in the far north and south, along with summits in South America, Central Asia and the Himalaya.

In 2023, Simon travelled with legendary British mountaineer Mick Fowler to attempt the un-climbed north face of Patkhor in Tajikistan, but contracted food poisoning from their freeze-dried food on just the second day. After some debate, they continued, but this was just the beginning of a series of events that would see them run out of food, retreat below the summit in a storm and Simon taking a bone-breaking 100m fall during the descent. After two days of lying on the glacier waiting for a helicopter, rescuers finally arrived but were unable to carry Simon down. Somehow, he would need to summon the energy for the painful three day walk to safety.

A survival classic, with the added twists of a fast-paced thriller. Ticket Information All tickets: £20.50

1 85-year-old Man, 5 Countries, 16 Cities, 23 shows, 6 weeks.

Will he make it home … or is this the end of the road?

One of the most recognisable figures in British comedy, John Cleese’s career spans six decades - from his early days with the Cambridge Footlights to co-founding Monty Python, co-creating Fawlty Towers, and writing and starring in the Oscar-nominated “A Fish Called Wanda”. His unique brand of black humour has made him a global icon and intergalactic treasure.

At the age of eighty five, John Cleese sets off on what might be his final European tour - five countries, sixteen cities, twenty-three shows, and retaining just two original body parts. “John Cleese Packs It In” is a wry, behind-the-scenes portrait of a comedy legend on the road, battling various ailments, chaotic travel, and his own stubborn refusal to stop.

Spanning six weeks on the road, the film captures Cleese unfiltered and on the move - riffing on life, fame, and the absurdity of getting old in front of thousands of fans. As he reflects on a stage career that began in 1963, the question lingers: is this the end of the road?

With unique and intimate access and showing unexpected tenderness, this is a documentary about legacy, laughter, and the dignity of bowing out… however reluctantly. Ticket Information All tickets: £13

'JOIN US!'

10 years ago Dirt In The Gate Movies resurrected the experience of traditional film projection in the BCP area. Since then and over 150 screenings later, we're going back to where it all started with Sam Raimi's classic horror franchise and celebrating THE EVIL DEAD and EVIL DEAD II from 35mm prints. Dr. Kate Egan (Author, The Evil Dead: Cultographies) from Northumbria University's Horror Research Group will once again be joining us to introduce this special event.

THE EVIL DEAD - Five friends travel to a cabin in the woods, where they unknowingly release flesh-possessing demons. Raimi’s seminal horror made a cult icon of Bruce Campbell and turned its director into hot property. Much imitated, but never bettered, The Evil Dead was the birth of an independently-spirited, viscerally- minded new wave in low budget horror cinema.

EVIL DEAD II - The lone survivor of an onslaught of flesh-possessing spirits holds up in a cabin with a group of strangers while the demons continue their attack.

Don't miss your chance to experience to see these seminal horror classics screening in 35mm from celluloid champions Dirt In The Gate Movies. Ticket Information All tickets: £15
