The Electric Cinema in Birmingham is the UK’s oldest working cinema. For the past few years they have held a movie festival, or the Shock + Gore festival, as it’s more commonly known.
In 2012 they decided to dedicate an entire day to the world’s greatest format, VHS. I was asked to host a screening as part of this event, whereby I would select a few ‘Video Nasties’ from my collection, talk a little about each selection and then the audience would make their choice. The chosen movie would then be screened direct from VHS on the day.
