Outwith (Strand)

Outwith is Weird Weekend’s core strand, showcasing rediscovered, restored and newly translated cinema. We have “lost” films found, cult classics rescued from obscurity, favourites in never-before-seen cuts and films presented in English for the first time, with brand-new translations. Films featured in the Outwith strand have been rediscovered, restored or translated for the first time by Matchbox Cine.
