ANARCHY IN THE UK: THE NEW UNDERGROUND CINEMA

The new documentary by director Jett Hollywood examines today's rise of the UK's underground cinema movement that involves a mish-mash of broken bones, surrealism, and punk DIY hysteria. The film relives the era (2010-2016) of the 'Misrule Cinema Movement' which exploded after the government abolished the UK's Film Council and the blanket frustration manifested its self at the London student tuition fee riots and with the Occupy protests. This period of social revolution and unrest gave birth to a new wave of pent-up creative energy and determined filmmakers along with Independent cinema groups started shaking the film industries rigid cage by building their own cinemas or staging guerrilla-style movie screenings throughout the country. The sign of the times created a generation gap in the film industry. This is their story.
 

''The film shows a new way of perceiving altered states of consciousness through film. A mystical ritual through society's hidden ceremonies and passing through the doors of perception via film. To exalt inner senses and images that we keep hidden. The occult roots of cinema that encourages us to seek, to experience the alchemy and psychedelic wizardry that the last of an erotic science has to offer. The power of total cinema.''  Fabrizio Federico

Jett Hollywood - A Filmmaker from Mars (Jetts story)

Jett's Story:
”When Ziggy Stardust & his Spiders from Mars came to Earth on the day he became a Superstar and appeared on Top OF THE POPS he sang STARMAN.

One night my mother watched him sing on a Top of the Pops rerun; her shuttle pot glitter eyes glistened and she experienced her first orgasm.
Nine months later I was born, yet my mother was still a virgin.

Ziggy hypnotized her with his midnight oil tongue and ‘love watch me here” signals and chose her as the spaceship for his one and only offspring.
Ziggy was fatally torn apart by his audience.
In his death a cosmic laser union was born.

I am a filmmaker from Mars.

My mission is to create two heart & mind life changing films. before I commit Cinema Suicide, just like my father committed Rock & Roll Suicide.”

Dark Side of Cinema

Since 1878 (which = 6) the birth of cinema has danced with many partners, splintering the art of filmmaking down many different paths, similar to how tarot cards, the Qabalah and other jaberwockery that was persecuted on its first introduction. But from its birth certain filmmakers have brought to the table a more tribal Wicca ingredient to mystic filmmaking. Especially proponents of the counterculture.

"Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law'' 

Aleister Crowley

 

 Exploring insanity, ecstasy, nihilism, dreams, carnal and occult practices, their subjects and topics are far far away from mainstream cinema, prefering to create a visual approximation to eternity. 

Tapping into an energy similar to a UFO that on first viewing may seem alien, but there lies its true magick, and rewards. Many consider these films avant garde, spacey and cosmic, with goo-goo sights and third eye disturbed states of minds, but altered states of consciousness have always pushed the boundaries of creativity. 

Showing a way of life beyond the artificial veil of a fake plastic society and displays the divine Babylon of life. With such tools as ESP, ley lines, hexagrams, sitars, astral travel, Eastern mysticism, past lives, LSD and other supernatural invocations. An impending apocalypse at the crossroads of cinema was bound to be introduced to open minded audiences, almost as a form of telepathy classes into the unknown.

These filmmakers guide the viewer in the same manner as a healer would. Creating a rhythm of sound and vision that a shaman, sorcerer or witch doctor would be proud of. In their films all the children are insane, on the edge of the city, ''I was in a German psychiatric clinic when I received inspiration to go out and make a film, and it healed me'' says the youngest filmmaker Fabrizio Federico in our list. 

Here are some of their spells:
