Entranced by a midday haze, high-heeled footsteps echo through the seemingly empty department store. Insistent on just looking, a swift glance in the mirror reveals a masked figure intimately tracing your steps. From the perfume counter and back home, leaving our female protagonists to wonder “How do I meet the strangest men, they always seem to find me?”

A collection of principally female-directed films, sourced from backrooms and VHS archives enveloped in dust, Uncanny Sally explores themes of the body, femininity and the uncanny in a low-fi, DIY style that’ll leave you feverish.

Dive into an analog-induced hysteria, where female anxieties, entrenched in noir and CRT hues, spill from sinks and stomachs, and lurk amongst mannequins and magicians.

The screening will be followed by a 80's horror themed quiz. Expect prizes!
