A selection of several films can be watched at different locations in our programme "Offscreen - on tour" !
At Liège there's even a mini-festival (see: www.offscreen-liege.be).
The Creeping Garden
Slime moulds’ are an enigmatic, fungus-like lifeform that displays a frightening level of intelligence. Still a mystery to science, they form the subject of this hallucinatory documentary, featuring a musical score by post-rock icon Jim O’Rourke (Sonic Youth, ...).
Invasion USA
Cuban communist guerilla soldiers land on the beaches of Florida and try to kick-start their revolution by terrorising a small suburb. Archetypical 80's bad guy Richard Lynch leads the attack, but luckily Chuck Norris comes to the rescue – with a rocket launcher in his jeans pocket.
The Texas Chain Saw Massacre
A group of teenagers stumbles upon a depraved family, among them the chainsaw-wielding Leatherface. This influential horror film, brilliantly executed in gritty cinema vérité style, still retains its power to shock and disturb. A unique screening of the newly remastered print in high definition.
Little Shop of Horrors (1986)
The chances on success and love of a nerdy flowerist turn for the better, with the help of a flesh-eating plant called Audrey II. But this “Mean Green Mother from Outer Space” has but one credo: “Feed me!”. This very entertaining musical remake of Roger Corman's cult classic, directed by Frank Oz (“The Muppet Show”), will be shown in its rare director's cut.
Lifeforce
During a space mission, three bodies are found on board of an alien spaceship. They're brought to earth, but the consequences are disastrous. Space vampires, a nude Mathilda May and the world on the brink of destruction in this insane SF-film that turned into a massive cult hit.
The Apple
At a song contest, Alphie and Bibi draw the attention of Mr. Boogalow, a Mephisto-like music mogul. They become tools in an evil master plan to conquer the world by song and dance. Disco glitter a-gogo in this awful musical that hits so stupendously wide off the mark that only hilarity remains.
Electric Boogaloo: The Wild, Untold Story of Cannon Films

Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956)
A local doctor gets told by several of his patients of their relatives suddenly behaving strangely. First he takes it for mass hysterics, but then he discovers an invasion of alien plants growing human clones in their seed pods. A heart-poundingly scary, methaphorical SF-classic from the cold war era.

Ruined Heart - Another love story between a criminal and a whore
The joined forces of punk director Khavn's rebel energy, Wong Kar-wai's regular cinematographer Christopher Doyle's elegant camera work and cool-ass actor Tananobu Asano (“Ichi the Killer”) result in an hypnotic descent into the neon-lit underbelly of Manila.
Tokyo Tribe
After “Why Don't You Play in Hell?”, the Japanese enfant terrible turns Offscreen on its head once again - this time with an insane yakuza hip-hop musical! In a colourful, cartoonish version of Tokyo, street gangs go at it head-to-head – with rhythm 'n rhyme, but also with swords, revolvers and... tanks!
The Go-Go Boys: The Inside Story of Cannon Films
A documentary that tells the inside story of two Israeli-born cousins, Menahem Golan and Yoram Globus, who in pursuit of the American Dream turned the Hollywood power structure upside down, producing over 300 films and becoming the most powerful independent film company in the world.
Missing in Action 2: The Beginning
