In the 1980s, it seemed impossible to escape Satan’s supposed influence. Everywhere you turned, there were warnings about a widespread evil conspiracy to indoctrinate the vulnerable through the media they consumed. This percolating cultural hysteria, now known as the “Satanic Panic,” not only sought to convince us of devils lurking behind the dials of our TVs and radios and the hellfire that awaited on book and video store shelves, it also created its own fascinating cultural legacy of Satan-battling VHS tapes, audio cassettes and literature.

In conjunction with the publication of Satanic Panic: Pop-Cultural Paranoia in the 1980s, co-editor and author Kier-La Janisse will host a lecture on this controversial culture war. There will also be a relevant feature film screened on the same evening.

This event will take place on Wednesday 3 February 2016.Please visit www.triskelartscentre.ie for further details.

Murphy wakes up on New Year’s Day to a frantic phone call. His ex-girlfriend Electra has been missing for months and her mother fears the worst. Over the course of a long, rainy day, Murphy finds himself alone, reminiscing about the greatest love affair of his life - the two years he spent with Electra. What follows is a burning, passionate story, full of promises, games, excesses and mistakes. Igniting controversy and must-see appeal at the Cannes Film Festival this year, Love is a semi-autobiographical, sexually-charged melodrama from the director of Enter The Void.

Love will screen across cinemas in Ireland and the United Kingdom on Wednesday 18th November for a simultaneous nationwide premiere. This screening will feature a special filmed introduction from Gaspar Noé. The film returns for a regular run at Triskel Christhcurch from Sunday 13th December.
