Basement VHS Fest presents:

FROM BEYOND ON VHS

(with special DJ Set and introduction from Beau Wanzer)

Obsessive scientist Dr. Pretorius (Ted Sorel) successfully discovers a way to access a parallel universe of pleasure by tapping into the brain's pineal gland. When he is seemingly killed by forces from this other dimension, his assistant, Dr. Crawford Tillinghast (Jeffrey Combs), is accused of the murder. After psychiatrist Katherine McMichaels (Barbara Crampton) and detective Bubba Brownlee (Ken Foree) take the case, the trio risks a return to the other world in order to solve the mystery.

Basement VHS is an art collective and VHS archive in the Mission District of San Francisco, CA. They host a weekly film screening and radio show on Radio Valencia. They are celebrating the release of their new art book, available for sale at the festival.

Beau Wanzer (CHI) makes for a special case in today’s electronic music game. Molecular biologist by trade, the American producer tinkers with his analogue gear like a mad scientist; slicing, dicing, drilling down and through the superficial dermis of raw machinic spurts and variedly sourced samples to extract a sizzling juice of fractured synthlines, frantic scope distortions and off-kilter rhythms that goes unparalleled these days. —Inverted Audio
