Sexcula — the Canadian taxpayers’ first (and only?) hardcore sex film — made in West Vancouver 40 years ago at Panorama Studios gets its first official public screening tonight at Vancity Theatre at 10:30 p.m. The film, directed by North Vancouver filmmaker “Bob Hollowich” after the original director was fired, screened only once back in the day for cast and crew. Produced by construction contractor Clarence Neufeld, Sexcula was never distributed to theatres but a copy was sent to Archives Canada to fulfill tax credit obligations.

Special guests will be in attendance at the world premiere tonight. Tickets $11/$9 at viff.org.
