Late Night Bizarre (18+)
This session is classified: Unclassified (18+), restricted to people 18 years and over.
Turbines to speed, atomic batteries to power – let’s roll. You know you want, we know you want it – so here it is! From the pungent underbelly of the body-animate comes this year’s torrent of eye-busting, brain-boiling gems that we’ve dragged in from the dark to populate Late Night Bizarre 2025, MIAF’s annual cult screening of hyper-alternative crazed nuggets that will weave their magic just the once for us before retreating to whence they emerged. And don’t forget, the MIAF bar will be ready, open and able to help you brace for impact.
