A FILM BY TIM KOWALSKI & KEVAN BYRNE
FEATURING: IGGY POP, GARY NUMNA, GARY TOPP, VALERIE BUHAGIAR, DON MCKELLAR

NASH THE SLASH RISES AGAIN! A new film that uncovers the sinister Canadian electronic music innovator who took his name from the killer butler in a 1927 Laurel and Hardy silent film, covered his head in surgical bandages and performed an unearthly one-man-show surrounded by half a ton of electronic sound processors and a couple of tape recorders. It’s about artistic integrity, courage and the price-tag that comes with it. Iggy Pop called him “so unusual and brilliant”.

High technology meets the age of horror, surreal and demented… NASH THE SLASH RISES AGAIN!

2025 – USA – 84 MINUTES – 5.1 AUDIO – ENGLISH

A FILM BY CHUCK SMITH

Chuck Smith revels in 1960s sounds and the spirit of counterculture with this politically pointed look back at the volatile energy of protest and creation behind the avant-garde NYC band The Fugs (say it out loud!). Even as band members Ed Sanders, Ken Weaver, and Tuli Kupferberg found that fighting the good fight eventually proved unsustainable, today they are—along with present-day commentators like Penny Arcade, Jeffrey Lewis, Lenny Kaye, and Aline and R. Crumb—just as individualistic and feisty.

A FILM BY BEATRICE MINGER & CHRISTOPH SCHAUB

A cinematic journey into the mind of Eileen Gray. The Irish designer builds a refuge on the Côte d'Azur in 1929. Her first house is a discrete, avant-garde masterpiece. She names it E.1027, a cryptic marriage of her initials and those of Jean Badovici, with whom she built it. Le Corbusier, upon discovering the house, becomes intrigued, obsessed. He covers the walls with murals and publishes photos of them. Gray describes these paintings as vandalism and demands restitution. He ignores her wishes and instead builds his famous Cabanon directly behind E.1027, which dominates the narrative of the site to this day. A story about the power of female expression, and men’s desire to control it.
