Features - cult screenings Pornostar C1: 28-30 Apr, 9pm One of the best Japanese debuts in recent years, Pornostar 's an amorality play taking place on the streets of Tokyo's fashionable Shibuya district. Blackly comic, with a nihilistic anti-hero who's got a grudge against yakuza, this has all the ingredient's for an instant cult classic. Style-wise, the feature melds Travis Bickle's brooding intensity with Takeshi Kitano's cathartic violence. Dir. Toyoda Toshiaki, Japan 1998 [98 mins], Japanese with English subtitles X Cinema 1: 1 May, 4 May, 5pm Cult anime feature, X takes non-linear narratives to the limit. Kamui is beckoned back to Tokyo by his mother in a dream, to find the Dragons of Heaven and the Dragons of Earth awakening. Kamui, becomes the key to their struggle in this visually inventive Japanese animation.

US director Mills' collaboration with French electronic music group Air on their music artwork, videos, and now documentary featurette, must be one of the most adventurous of recent times. Together they've created an evocative parallel visual world that mirrors the group's ethereal, hip and poignant sound. This is a rare cinema screening of their work together.
