As part of the monthly exploitation/vintage/trash/cult cinema club Slum Cinema, run by Anna Davies, who sez:

The night goes like this – I get up and introduce the film giving some fun facts and history on its legacy or production, free popcorn is consumed, audience is encouraged to drink and shout their displeasure at the screen and to laugh wholesomely, film ends, everyone high fives and goes home.

It’s a simple event but it’s like no other cinema club in Dublin. The films being shown are hidden gems, sometimes unknown sometimes cult favorites. They are outrageous and unusual, off the beaten track.
