Uncomfortable Brunch Presents: The Other Side of the Underneath

New 2K restoration by the British Film Institute!
Adapting her play “A New Communion for Freaks, Prophets and Witches”, feminist and radical theatre icon Jane Arden assembles her all-female theatre troupe for a violent descent into the mind of a young woman labelled schizophrenic.
Composed of different episodes brimming with psychoanalytic symbols and raw, shocking, heartbreaking footage, each segment becomes the metaphorical backdrop for the creator’s reflections on self-exploration, repressed guilt, sexual deprivation, freedom of expression, emotional breakdown and the “other side” underneath. The film is harrowing, nightmarish exploration of reason, chaos and Arden’s own battles with mental illness that’s unlike anything audiences have seen before or since.
Sheila Allen (Children of the Damned), Ann Lynn (A Shot in the Dark), renowned visual artist Penny Slinger, and Arden herself star in the only British feature film of the 1970s directed solely by a woman.
Doors open at 11:30 am
