Matchbox Cineclub’s monthly residency continues with Luis Ospina’s rarely screened cult Tropical Gothic horror from 1980. An old, bedridden sugar tycoon who communicates with the outside world by CCTV consumes constant supplies of blood plasma from kidnapped and murdered children.

Tropical Gothic is mainly associated with Colombian cinema of the 1980s, in particular a flurry of productions based in the country’s third largest city, Cali, where a very intense cinephile culture was flourishing. The most emblematic of these cinephile filmmakers were fans of Roger Corman as well as cinéma vérité documentarists, and part of a politically radical art scene.

This screening is part of Scalarama 2016.
