Bloody films have often been the subject of righteous indignation, but only one nation has declared a regular war on them. When VHS tapes appeared on the British market, the censorship decided to sift out the forbidden fruit, i.e. films filled with violence and nudity - and at the same time punish anyone who distributed them. As a result, a legendary list of 72 films banned by the British authorities was created. In his book "Video Nasties. Banned Films", Łukasz Karaś describes the phenomenon of titles suspended by British censorship and presents the behind-the-scenes of the creation of the infamous list. As part of the event at Kino Spektrum, you will have the opportunity not only to ask the author questions and listen to his story, but also to watch one of the most famous banned films - "The Cannibal" from 1980, better known as "Antropophagus". The cult Italian horror film directed by Joe D’Amato became famous primarily for the scene of eating a human fetus – it was enough for the British censors to ban its distribution for eighteen years. Although today nobody would leave the cinema outraged, “Antropophagus" still surprises with the level of macabre.
