[Day 08: 06/08/2022]

The short film My Mother’s Son (Tiago Di Mauro, 2021, 14 minutes) will open the programme.

Censor (Prano Bailey-Bond, 2020):

This terrifying British horror expertly recreates the video nasties of the '80s, as well as the moral prudity of the time, weaving them into an effective gore-fest.

Censor evokes the drabness of the 80s rather than its neon-light sparkle, using clips from Margaret Thatcher and Mary Whitehouse to set the “mother-knows-best” tone of the era. It’s in a dark, smoke-filled room we first encounter Enid Baines (Naimh Algar), who discusses removing a penis shot here, a gouged eye-ball there. She takes pride in her work, trying to make the videos just right so they are suitable for public consumption.

A fascinating debut from Bailey-Bond!
