The Shockproof Film Festival: The Sword and the Claw

The movie “The Sword and the Claw” will be screened in the form of an online stream “My Cinema Live”.

How it works: Viewers choose how much they can spend on a movie ticket and everything will be as if they were buying a movie ticket. After the purchase, the cinema expect donators to receive an email with a stream link exactly 30 minutes before the start of a specific broadcast.

In online cinema, the following schedule applies: Viewers can soak up the cinema atmosphere as early as 30 minutes before the start of the performance. The movie starts at exact time. Viewers can chat through the projection during the projection nad after the film, they can discuss the impressions and film experiences. If viewers do not want to use chat, they can even turn it off.

With the projections organizers will try to evoke the atmosphere of the cinema hall with everything that comes with it. There will be introductions, audience reactions and company of friends. At the same time viewers can support their favorite cinema in a difficult time.

The Sword and the Claw / Natuk Baytan / Turkey 1975 / 88 min. / English, Czech titles – They took his money. They took his family. And now, they have taken his hands. Bud they will never take his revenge! Exploding from the same hallucinogenic netherworld as Turkish Star Wars, The Sword and the Claw stars Turkish genre legend Cüneyt Arkin in his most iconic role. It is Tarzan meets The Three Stooges, meets Shaw Brothers’ wu-xia with more lo-fi bloodshed and pop-art visuals than the boundaries of reality can handle. We present this incredibly silly gem in the even more warped US grindhouse version, omitting 20 minutes of boring plot and substituting that loss with lunatic dubbing. Hell hath no fury like a Turkish prince raised by lions, who was stabbed to death and had his hands doused in acid.
