The Other Side of the Underneath

Feminist and radical theatre icon Jane Arden adapts her own multimedia production “A New Communion for Freaks, Prophets and Witches” in this harrowing, nightmarish exploration of reason, chaos and her own battles with mental illness that’s unlike anything audiences have seen before or since. Sheila Allen (CHILDREN OF THE DAMNED), Ann Lynn (THE BLACK TORMENT), renowned visual artist Penny Slinger, and Arden herself star in the only British feature film of the 1970s directed solely by a woman—newly restored in 2K by the British Film Institute.
