Featuring clips from Lint's books, cartoons, music, comics and films, plus interviews with fans & critics, the movie follows Lint's life from the days of vintage pulp, through his adoption by the psychedelic counterculture and disastrous scripts for 'Star Trek' and 'Patton'; to his status as an enigmatic cult figure. Never-before-seen archive footage and recordings of Lint himself, and commentary by those who knew and read him, results in a compelling portrait of the creator of Clowns & Insects, Jelly Result, The Stupid Conversation, The Riding On Luggage Show, the CATERER comic, and Catty and the Major, the scariest kids' cartoon ever aired.
Lint’s was a career haunted by death, including the undetected death of his agent, the suspicious death of his rival Herzog, and the unshakable 'Lint is dead' rumours, which persisted even after his death. Like his contemporary Philip K. Dick, he was blithely ahead of his time. This special Brighton screening will be introduced by Lint biographer and director Mr Steve Aylett

In Brighton (from 29th May): Dave's Comics, Resident Records, EdgeWorld
Screening at: The West Hill Community Hall
Compton Avenue, Brighton, East Sussex BN1 3PS.
The hall is a 5 minute walk from Brighton train station up Terminus Road towards Seven Dials. Tucked away down it's own little off-road a little ways up and across from the West Hill Pub on the corner of Buckingham Place and Compton Ave. You can't miss it.
It was only a matter of time before the full teetering fracas got revealed.

ReplyDeleteI went into Dave's Comics yesterday and tried to buy tickets for this, but they looked at me like I was deranged and seemed to think that I'd imagined the whole thing. Is there a secret password, or is the whole thing the product of someone's fevered imagination?
ReplyDeleteThere's been a bit of delay getting tickets to Brighton shops, but it's all real and happening still. The tickets will be in Dave's from Wed this week, Thursday at latest. Only Stephen knows for the moment about the tickets being for sale there I expect.
