In February at Transmissions it's all VHS, all month.
In the warm embrace of Dalston Superstore's basement we'll be delivering you four tapes' worth of entertainment from the MTV era, hand-selected to make you feel like you're flipping channels late at night and feasting your eyes on the kind of sleazy, violent media and godless rock and roll the televangelist three channels back tried to warn you about.
Spain's reigning deity Pedro Almodóvar (Volver, Bad Education) sluts out a fully game Antonio Banderas to wondrous effect in his unruly melodrama Law of Desire (1987), where Banderas plays a young man obsessed with a gay film director (Eusebio Poncela) who splits his days between yearning for an absent lover and dealing with the temperaments of his trans sister Tina (Carmen Maura).
Join us downstairs at Dalston Superstore for a special presentation from a rare VHS tape of this beautiful deep cut where passions blaze and desire rules the head and the heart.
It's not your fault if you don't love me and its not my fault if I love you
This screening will be in Spanish with English subtitles.
Seating is a mixture of benches, backed chairs, bar stools, and floor space, and is first come, first served.
