The Ninth Heart (Church of Film)

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!

Daisies

Maybe the New Wave’s most anarchic entry, Věra Chytilová’s absurdist farce follows the misadventures of two brash young women. Believing the world to be “spoiled,” they embark on a series of pranks in which nothing—food, clothes, men, war—is taken seriously. Daisies is an aesthetically and politically adventurous film that’s widely considered one of the great works of feminist cinema.

The Very Late Afternoon of the Faun (Church of Film)

A fading Lothario and bureaucrat plies his rapidly diminishing charms on Prague's young women, and in the process confronts the spectre of Death! A reversal of perspective on their beloved classic Daisies, and teeming with the same frenetic energy, THE VERY LATE AFTERNOON OF THE FAUN saw director Věra Chytilová and writer & designer Ester Krumbachová teaming up once again for an encore of savage feminist comedy!
