Videodroom 2025: Profondo Rosso & Lynch kick off early

News 06 Jun 2025

Our annual dream date with VIERNULVIER isn't messing around this year! VIDEODROOM 2025 is shaping up to be a wild mix of obscure and not-so-obscure cult classics, shivering synths, thumping basslines, psychedelia, and ... Dario Argento & David Lynch. And because we're extra excited this time around, we're kicking things off early with two shows in the weeks leading up to the film festival - and that's just a little taste of what's to come.

Claudio Simonetti's Goblin x 'Profondo rosso'

Sat 20.09 | 20:00 | De Vooruit, Theaterzaal

Exactly fifty years ago (1975), legendary Italian director Dario Argento delivered Profondo rosso: the ultimate giallo film. This blood-soaked, baroque genre hit its peak in the gritty 1970s and is known for its twisted murder mysteries, masked killers with a thing for sharp objects, elegant victims, and - of course - buckets of blood. We're celebrating the 50th anniversary of this cult horror classic with a screening of the film - and a live score performed by none other than Claudio Simonetti's Goblin, the prog rock band who composed the original soundtrack.

Xiu Xiu x 'Eraserhead'

Sat 04.10 | 20:30 | De Vooruit, Theaterzaal

The legendary cult band Xiu Xiu delivers a singular tribute to David Lynch's macabre masterpiece Eraserhead. Don't expect a conventional film screening, but rather a radical reinterpretation of the iconic soundtrack by composer Alan Splet - performed live - accompanied by visuals that evoke Lynch's universe both directly and indirectly.

Is it a living video installation? A cinematic nightmare? An intense homage to a lost idol? It's all of these things - and something entirely unique. Xiu Xiu dives headlong into the film's nightmarish landscape of fraught sexuality, industrial dread, and lunar weirdness.
