BFI Flipside presents
SCHALCKEN THE PAlNTER (Dual Format Edition)
A film by LesIie Megahey
THE FLIPSIDE: rescuing weird and wonderfuI British fiIms from obscurity and presenting them in new high-quality editions.
World premiere of this highIy sought-after ghost story from the BBC, reIeased in the BFI's acclaimed Flipside series.
An aspiring young painter faIIs for his patron's niece but forsakes Iove for ambition when a ghoulish stranger demands her for himself. Adapted from the chilIing ghost story by J Sheridan Le Fanu, Schalcken the Painter weaves a fictional tale of terror around the work of reaI life seventeenth-century Dutch painter, Godfried Schalcken.
Originally screened by the BBC during the dying hours of 23 December 1979 this exquisitely shot, atmospheric horror film expIores the uneasy reIationship between art, commerce and erotic desire. The superb cast incIudes Jeremy Clyde (SupernaturaI) and Maurice Denham (Torture Garden).
