Psychotropical

In a nearly desolate residence of the Greek province, a mother suckles out of her mouth two breeds of men - a possessive father and a boy becoming a shadow within their shreds. Only one of the three is an existent person.

An instant in the memory of landscape: the smuggling that for centuries crossed the line between Portugal and Galicia. The Gerês Mountains knows no borders, and rocks cross from one country to another with insolence. Smugglers also disobey this separation. The rocks, the river, the trees: silent witnesses that help them to hide. They just have to wait for the night to cross the distance that separates them.

A reworking of the myth of Hippolytus, in which a chaste youth rejects the incestuous advances of his mother and is saved from death by a caring physician.

Normality is a human state of good intentions, empathy, caring and wanting to do the best for those we love and the world at large.

Experimental short film that explores the feelings of 17-year-old Li Xia who searches for purpose and intimacy while trapped in Diyu, or "hell" in Chinese mythology.

Impressive sound design, non-linear editing, great ‘expressionistic’ locations and b&w cinematography, this is an experimental piece for Pialat, a psychological/gothic thriller of sorts...

A series of terrifying dramas of male-female relationships offset against the background of a New York tenement. Preserved by the Academy Film Archive in partnership with The Film Foundation in 2012.

Pialat's first film was the short Isabelle aux Dombes, shot in 1951 when the director was 26 years old. The film is an entirely silent montage of documentary footage, ragged experimental techniques — mainly some negative-image inserts — and symbolic psychodrama that's surprisingly not too different from the work that Stan Brakhage would begin making just a year or two later. Images of death proliferate throughout the film, and what started as a loose documentary soon becomes an eerie psuedo-horror piece that's obsessed with death and decay.

A teacher student confrontation goes horribly... right?

One night in a hotel room spent with unknown woman throws young man into hard nightmare, from which he wakes up only to fall asleep again and fall back to it. He dreams about escaped soldier who breaks in the mountain cottage on New Year's Eve where he meets two couples in orgy. Soldier's fear and despair grow, just like madness of drunken couples. The soldier suddenly sees his picture on the TV's monitor, and terrified realizes that he's the prosecuted one. A severe impact on the door frightens him, and he starts shooting. Only one of them he leaves alive. And then he kills himself. He wakes up distraught in a hotel room, in horror he looks at the woman next to him - a woman from his dream, gets dressed and leaves.

A Philosophy - Monopáti

Ravaged by a debilitating illness, the Toxic Man sets out to stop the cabal of scientists and bureaucrats responsible for his metamorphosis in a surreal stab at vengeance.

When all four of his children cancel their yearly visits, a widower travels to the far corners of the country to see them and discovers the hidden sides of their lives.

A very personal interpretation, to say the least, of the passion of the Christ According to St. John.

A triptych of short stereoscopic films by Peter Greenaway, Jean-Luc Godard and Edgar Pêra. Includes "The Three Disasters" by Godard, "Cinesapiens" by Pêra and "Just in Time" by Greenaway.

Break-up flick.

Neša Paripović's film N.P. 1977 (1977) is a film about a walk through the summer green city of Belgrade. In a way it´s a self-portrait of the artist who plays the main protagonist in the film. For the film title he has chosen his initials – as is the case with the two other films in a series of three produced between 1975-78.

Experimental film.

The original anti-film. In the film, there are scenes of streets of Zagreb taken by author with a hand-held camera turned backwards, having no control over the content of filming. The filmmaker subsequently produced the concrete music. Such “planned coincidence” of filmmaking became a polemic thorn in side of the documentary tradition of Croatian cinema.

A lonesome man at the threshold of death finds himself trapped in a place called the Endless.
