Double Feature John Carpenter
A CERTAIN GENRE
Genre, experimental or low-budget films… the fringes of the film industry have always strongly influenced its centre. By taking a look at the seemingly insignificant, this retrospective explores the great directors and genres that have changed the course of history.
