Join us in the Atrium Bar for Video Bazaar's newest and most questionable experiment, "NOBODY ASKED FOR THIS!", a strand dedicated to celebrating cinema's most unruly, visionary and profoundly strange detritus.

Commencing the proceedings will be a screening of The Passing, a lo-fi head trip from the outer limits of American underground filmmaking. Directed by John Huckert over the span of seven years and self funded by sheer willpower and a miniscule budget, The Passing is a one of a kind artifact, an existential mediation on death, loneliness and the metaphysical wrapped in the grain of decaying celluloid.

Ernie and Rose are two widower WWII veterans with no one but each other, living in a crumbling old house outside of Baltimore slowly awaiting their death. Wade is a youthful, blue collar laborer with a wife and young child. Their lives seem predetermined to never intersect until memories blur and something unnatural begins to take root beneath the surface. Part esoteric philosphical drama, part body horror and most definitely containing arthouse sensibilties, The Passing exists in a liminal space that is strangely familiar yet steeped in a cosmic dread.

This screening is presented by the cult film club, Video Bazaar, who are dedicated to bringing the weird and the obscure to London audiences at The Garden Cinema.
