One Hour Intro: Exploitation Cinema

Dismissed as trash by purists, taken seriously by some academics, and unquestionably loved by fans of down and dirty cinema, exploitation films have been produced all over the world. In this session Andy Willis, Reader in Film Studies at the University of Salford, will introduce the wild and wonderful world of exploitation cinema, and address the question: What exactly is an exploitation film?

And if that’s whet your appetite why not join us for our all-night Sleazeathon later in the day – a true celebration of exploitation movies.
