PROGRAMME
4.15 pm Illustrated Talk - The European-ness
of Eurospy
Illustrated with 400 high resolution images from the Kiss Kiss Kill Kill
Archive, curator Richard Rhys Davies gives an hour long presentation that
examines the spy film myth. Focusing on the Eurospy genre, the talk will reveal
how Eurospy melds European identity, heroic tradition and technology into a
unique cultural entity.
5.45 pm 35mm Film Screening - Deadlier than
the Male (1966)
Recently shown on the beach at Cannes by Quentin Tarantino, this 60s spy gem
was voted top ten by The Eurospy Guide. A dizzying kaleidoscope of
deadly spy girls, terrorism, Mediterranean excitement, espionage thrills and
dangerous grooves, Deadlier then the Male is essential viewing.
7.45pm Illustrated Talk - Diabolik: European
Icon
An illustrated talk by Richard Rhys Davies charting the production and
influence of Mario Bava’s seminal Diabolik.
8.00 pm 35mm Film Screening - Diabolik
aka Danger: Diabolik (1968)
Diabolik is possibly the coolest film ever made. A fabulous mash up
of master criminal, super-spy and psychedelic genres, horror maestro Mario Bava
set the benchmark for the cool sixties flick.
