Weird Weekend's exclusive, guest-programmed UNSEE event takes place in the hour before the clocks go back, meaning that, as soon as it's finished, it's like it never happened. Our guest programmers are invited to screen something they couldn't, wouldn't or shouldn't screen otherwise in what for you, the audience, is an hour of your life you actually will get back. Before the hour commences, the content of the programme is secret and once it's over, it'll never be screened again.
This year, UNSEE is curated by film-maker Louise Weard (Computer Hearts, Castration Movie).
This hour is curated exclusively for us - and Louise Weard's edition of UNSEE will screen and stream just once, at OFFLINE, Glasgow, and exclusively on our online cinema, here, and never again.
00:45 - 01:00 Unsee: Pre-show
01:00 - 01:00 Louise Weard: Unsee
This is the programme scheduled for the UK & Ireland timezone - for US timezones, please return to the main page here.
NB the entire UNSEE programme is presented with optional descriptive subtitles and optional audio description.

ABOUT WEIRD WEEKEND | Weird Weekend is an annual cult film festival based in Glasgow, Scotland, established in 2018, founded, programmed and produced by Matchbox Cine. Weird Weekend and its related monthly screening series are dedicated to the orphans, outcasts and outliers of cult cinema - strange and compelling films that due to circumstance or sheer personality have fallen through the cracks of the canon. Past editions have brought to Glasgow exclusive and world and UK premiere screenings, including Tom Schiller's Nothing Lasts Forever on 35mm, Craig Denney's The Astrologer and John Paizs' Crime Wave: The Original Cut. In 2022, they brought Fredric Hobbs’ long-though-lost Troika to audiences for the first time anywhere in 40 years and screened Welsh horrors Gwaed Ar Y Sêr and O’r Ddaear Hen with newly commissioned English translations. Previous UNSEE strand with guest programmers include Elizabeth Purchell (Ask Any Buddy) and Vera Drew (The People's Joker). Weird Weekend toured Kier-La Janisse around the UK to celebrate the 10th anniversary expanded edition of her House of Psychotic Women book. Underpinning all of their events is a focus on access and inclusion, so as many people as possible can see these wild and incredible films that are otherwise out of circulation.
ABOUT MATCHBOX CINE | Matchbox Cine is an independent exhibitor of outcasts, orphans and outliers and an award-winning subtitler, specialising in access provision in film exhibition and distribution. Established in 2010, they programme, curate and promote cult film events, including the festivals Weird Weekend, Cage-a-rama and KeanuCon.
