A valorous, strong and simple Cossack named Vasyl is given the arduous task of traveling across the wilderness and plains, and (literally) to Hell and back, to deliver an important petition for help to the Russian Empress Elizabeth. Based on an adventurous comedy by Nikolai Gogol, Boris Ivchenko's THE LOST LETTER was one the last and most striking films of the Ukrainian Poetic Cinema movement. Banned immediately by Soviet censors, it's a lost masterpiece of its time!

A young thief falls in love with a comedienne in a traveling carnival, but runs afoul of the law. To win his freedom, he must use his cloak of invisibility to save the ruling Lord’s daughter from a nefarious court alchemist, who steals the hearts of others to fuel his magical machines. Juraj Herz’s (Morgiana) THE NINTH HEART was a spectacular gothic fantasy filmed in tandem with his dark adaptation of Beauty & the Beast, with set design by his longtime friend Jan Švankmajer!

In this taut psychological thriller by Karyn Kusama (JENNIFER’S BODY), the tension is palpable when Will shows up to a dinner party hosted by his ex-wife Eden and new husband David (Michiel Huisman).
