MARCH 1st: UNCHAINED MELODY: THE FILMS OF MEIKO KAJI It’s time to bow down to the Queen of Japanese Action cinema... Meiko Kaji! This cult cinema powerhouse broke onto the Japanese cinema scene in the 60s and has reigned supreme ever since. From leading the rebellious girl gangs of Stray Cat Rock to being a harbinger of pure unbridled vengeance in Female Prisoner Scorpion, Kaji has done it all. (And done it in style!).

MARCH 8th: CAUGHT ON TAPE Viral outbreaks, death curses, illicit sex, pervy pictures and uncomfortable truths - the Caught On Tape season is a selection of films where posing for a photo, filming something never meant to be seen or watching unearthed videos is all good fun, but could also get you in big trouble - or even killed. Films included in the collection are camcorder creep-out [REC], the insane VHS revelations of The El Duce Tapes, the J-horror classic series of Ring films, and Dutch treat Videoman. MARCH 12th: MAKE-UP EFFECTS MASTERCLASS We all know CGI blood sucks and that lovingly-crafted hand-made artery-gushing flesh-peeling stomach-churning practical effects are where it’s at. Make-Up Effects Masterclass is full of examples of the best, from the best. Films in the collection include icky gross-outs of Re-Animator and Bride of Re-Animator, the eye-popping and flesh-ripping effects of the classic Hellraiser series, and bucket loads more, as well as fantastic ARROW stories, packed with behind-the-scenes looks at these classics.
