“If there is one disappointing element of this moving, amusing, sad and memorable film it’s that it isn’t five hours long.” - TheWrap

When all theatres closed during the COVID-19 pandemic, two actors, Sam and Mark, became uncertain about their future. In the virtual chaos of Grand Theft Auto Online, they found an unexpected outlet: they decided to perform Hamlet in its entirety there, right in the middle of cars, guns, violence, and the chaos of other online gamers. Not just the two of them, but also with the help of complete strangers.

This comedic documentary is made entirely within the world of Grand Theft Auto Online.

"The Quay Brothers' surreal stop-motion fantasy is a feast for the eyes and a brainteaser." - Variety

In Sanatorium Under the Sign of the Hourglass, young Jozef boards a train to a remote sanatorium in the Carpathians to see his dying father one last time. But what awaits him there is anything but comforting: a dilapidated building full of whispering ghosts and enigmatic rooms, where time stretches like chewing gum and reality slowly fades away. As Jozef wanders from room to room, he descends into a sighing underworld, a poetic steampunk landscape full of memories, ghosts, and scars from the past.

The Quay brothers made us wait 20 years for their third feature film, an adaptation that manages to capture the essence of Bruno Schulz’s haunting story. The film has appeared on many critics' end-of-year lists, but has reached only a small audience so far. Let yourself be carried away by the dreamy aesthetic and the extremely atmospheric universe, where a dark, murky, and disjointed logic distorts reality.

"Inland Empire is Lynch's vaguest, longest, ugliest filmed and most alienating film, but for that reason no less fascinating or surprising." -Filmtotaal

Inland Empire is a 2006 experimental psychological thriller and art film by director David Lynch. The film follows Hollywood actress Nikki Grace (Laura Dern) as she becomes increasingly entangled in a dark, surreal, and fragmented narrative surrounding a cursed film production, blurring the lines between her own identity and that of her character.

The light of Los Angeles. A fever dream. Camcorders. A puzzle without an edge. Realising your dreams is the most wonderful thing there is. The perfect song, at exactly the right moment. An open wound. Auditions. A laugh that lingers just a bit too long. Hollywood. Reality as a set. The dream as truth.

This year, David Lynch passed away, one of the greatest artists of all time. While many cinemas have shown a retrospective of his work, Inland Empire has often been skipped. Probably because it is his most radical, experimental, expressive, and also personal film.

Let's not be silent for 2 minutes, but 3 hours, to honour this great artist.
