Our LUMI Programmers November pick is David Cronenberg's sci-fi classic Videodrome . Starring James Woods and Debbie Harry in one of her first film roles. When Max Renn goes looking for edgy new shows for his sleazy cable TV station, he stumbles across the pirate broadcast of a hyperviolent torture show called Videodrome . As he struggles to unearth the origins of the program, he embarks on a hallucinatory journey into a shadow world of right-wing conspiracies, sadomasochistic sex games, and bodily transformation. Videodrome is one of writer/director David Cronenberg’s most original and provocative works, fusing social commentary with shocking elements of sex and violence. With groundbreaking special effects makeup by Academy Award winner Rick Baker, Videodrome has come to be regarded as one of the most influential and mind-bending science fiction films of the 1980s. LUMI is a free membership scheme for cinemagoers aged 26 or under. Our LUMI programmers are a group of creators who curate, run and host film events for LUMI at QFT. Find out more here .
