Newcastle, UK -- (ReleaseWire) -- 06/09/2014 --The Wednesday Lecture will present Daniel Gibson: Art House Erotica, taking place at Vane art gallery, Newcastle on Friday 25th July, featuring a multi-screen presentation of some of the best and most notorious narrative and documentary films of the 1960s and ‘70s from the sexploitation genre.

During the late 1960s and early 70s as mainstream film studios began to produce big budget B-movies, to maintain their own market niche, independent ‘exploitation’ production companies found a need to push the boundaries of content and subject matter into realms that the mainstream would still not touch.

With the relaxation of obscenity laws in both Europe and the US, the insertion of increasingly pornographic scenes into otherwise regular B-movies took the genre of ‘sexploitation’ to a whole different level from the ‘nudie-cuties’ of the 50s which first defined it.

In a departure from the regular Wednesday Lecture format, this event will comprise of the multi-screen presentation by Daniel Gibson of some of the best and most notorious narrative and documentary films from the genre. Work from filmmakers such as Jess Franco (The Blood of Fu Manchu), David F. Friedman (Blood Feast), Ed Wood (Plan 9 From Outer Space), Claude Mulot (Pussy Talk), and Peter Savage (Raging Bull) will be shown in a suitably styled gallery space sponsored by Attica Vintage.

Free admission with pay bar.
Date: Friday 25th July, 8pm – 11pm
Location: Vane, First Floor, Commercial Union House, 39 Pilgrim Street, Newcastle Upon Tyne, NE1 6QE.
