A lecture-performance by Daniel Cockburn.
In the year 1994, two reigning horror-movie directors each released a film: John Carpenter’s In the Mouth of Madness and Wes Craven’s New Nightmare. As a child growing up in Canada Daniel Cockburn encountered both and was reshaped forever, and in this deft, funny lecture-performance he explores the discovery of a very special super power: “the ability to turn any film into a horror film simply by watching it.” Along the way, we will encounter: a film-projection mishap, French filmmaking dogma, the Y2K crisis, a correspondence with a famous American filmmaker, and some seriously detailed grammatical analysis of classic power-ballad lyrics.
(Note: This is a live performance in our cinema. It is absolutely not necessary to have seen All the Mistakes part 1! This is an independent, stand-alone work.)
