Bart de Melker (aka Brat P. Milk) is a Belgian experimental filmmaker active in various fields as an animator, graphic designer and VJ.
Due to the affinity we feel with his oeuvre so far, we take some humble pride & pleasure in presenting his first two independently produced shortfilms, All Circuits Go (2004) and Addicttron (2007).
Using the art & crafts of stop-motion, Bart de Melker creates an abstract universe inhabited by absurd robotics and possessed technology gone awry. Two short tales about charmingly eerie Animatronics from the Doomed Megalopolis of Blasphemous Technoids.
Yes, I just made that last line up myself.

Despite the title, it’s not an all-black porno.
Sir Charles Walker (David Warbeck) goes undercover on the island plantation of Lady Susan Walker (Anouska Hempel) to find his missing brother Jonathan (David Prowse). He quickly finds the plantation is a horrible place, ruled with an iron fist by Lady Walker through her men: the extremely racist – and very white – overseer Joxer Tierney (Percy Herbert) and the cultured, homosexual, strict military commander – who’s very black – Capt.

Director: Jaromil Jires
Writers: Jaromil Jires & Ester Krumbachová with additional dialog by Jirí Musil and based on a novel by Vítezslav Nezval
Release Year: 1970
Czech title: Valerie a týden divu
Bleed little girl, bleed.
Thirteen year old Valerie (Jaroslava Schallerová) – who looks like a young Britt Ekland – lives with her grandmother (Helena Anýzová) in a large house. One day, missionary / actor-player / complete weirdo Tchor-konstábl (Jirí Prýmek) appears in the town with Orlík (Petr Kopriva) – who may have already been there – and quickly becomes interested in grandmother and Valerie. There’s much more to it than that as the film unfolds like a fever dream story of incest, lesbianism, sexual-awaking, molestation, sexuality, marriage as well as vampires, weasels and religion….

A similar event happened at Jackson State University which claimed two lives. The Apollo program was abandoned. Charles Manson released his album “Lies” to finance his criminal defense. The Ford Pinto was introduced. Four California Highway Patrol officers were killed in one day…making 1970 the deadliest year in California law enforcement history. Monday Night Football premiered. And a movie was released to unsuspecting grindhouses and drive-ins that would change exploitation forever… I Drink Your Blood.
