Jeff Lieberman to be honoured at CINE EXCESS VIII


 
Jeff Lieberman (SQUIRM, BLUE SUNSHINE, JUST BEFORE DAWN), American cult indie legend, and forwordist of my book SUBVERSIVE HORROR CINEMA, will receive a Lifetime Achievement Award at this year’s CINE EXCESS cult film conference and festival.
The director will be in attendance, with his three seminal films all being screened over the course of the weekend and a special presentation by myself, "Bad Acid, Killer Worms and Deadly Dawns: The Films of Jeff Lieberman", during the conference on the Saturday.

There is also a special screening of the new 40th anniversary release of THE TEXAS CHAIN SAW MASSACRE (1974) as the opening night film, which also includes a Skype interview with actor Ed Neal. This will form part of the “Scum of the Earth: Horrific Hicks on Film” season running throughout the weekend.
CINE EXCESS takes place in Brighton on 14th – 16th November with its distinctive mix of filmmaker awards and retrospectives, exclusive film screenings and a themed three-day conference. All screenings are open to the public.
