The Seasons kick off June 3 with Quarxx Selects (UK/US/CA/IRE), a selection of titles from Quarxx, the creative mind of May’s key title, Pandemonium.”As a filmmaker, I am constantly drawn to films that defy convention and take audiences on unexpected journeys. My favorite titles reflect my passion for unique genre cinema that pushes boundaries and explores the uncharted territories of storytelling. Each film on this list holds a special place in my heart for its distinctiveness, originality, and the way it challenges conventional norms.Each film on this list represents a distinct facet of my cinematic sensibility, reflecting my love for bold, daring storytelling and my fascination with the limitless possibilities of the medium. These films have left an indelible mark on me as a filmmaker, inspiring me to push boundaries and explore new creative horizons in my own work.”Titles Include: Re-Animator, Tetsuo: The Iron Man, Tideland.
