Debuting to a lengthy standing ovation at the Venice Film Festival, the film has been hailed as a "masterclass in directorial control", boldly challenging audiences both emotionally and intellectually. Written by 'The Menu' co-writer Will Tracy, BUGONIA is an English-language reimagining of Jang Joon-hwan’s acclaimed 2003 Korean cult classic, 'Save the Green Planet!' - now reinterpreted through Lanthimos’ uniquely off-kilter vision.

Legendary animator Jiří Trnka’s fourth feature, Old Czech Legends explores ancient Bohemian mythology in a patriotic paean to the land and human perseverance. The film is an adaptation of Alois Jirásek's anthology, Legends of Old Bohemia, an edition of which Trnka himself illustrated. It is told through six vignettes of well-known Czechoslovak fables loosely sewn together, from a princess revolt (The Maidens’ War) to a man’s duel with a wild boar (The Tale of Bijov). Old Czech Legends stands as one of Trnka’s most visionary and technically complex works: an ambitious interpretation of familiar cultural history through the fantastical medium of puppet animation. Digital restoration courtesy of the National Film Archive in Prague.

Marie Dvořáková’s filmic record of Marie Tomanová spans five years. A kind of documentary that is impossible to recreate in fiction, World Between Us is only partially about photographs: its focus is Marie as a real, multi-faceted human—her career evolution, her return home, her drive as an artist living abroad, her nonlinear relationship with Thomas. A profound picture of life, of memories, feelings, thoughts, relationships, and what it means to exist in a life guided by art.

But this visioning tool, like other plant medicines, is not new; it comes from ancient traditions.

Is it possible the world's oldest cultures have something important to teach us, not just about traditional medicines, but about death itself?

Advance Screenings Wed 22 Oct. “Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere” chronicles the making of Bruce Springsteen’s 1982 “Nebraska” album. Recorded on a 4-track recorder in Springsteen’s New Jersey bedroom, the album marked a pivotal time in his life and is considered one of his most enduring works—a raw, haunted acoustic record populated by lost souls searching for a reason to believe. “‘Nebraska’ is where Bruce chose truth over expectation—a choice that still reverberates through everything he’s written since. At that crossroads, he could have chased the bright lights and the roar of arenas, but instead he turned inward, armed only with silence, a four-track recorder, and the courage to confront himself. For him to trust me with telling that story—the most vulnerable chapter of his life—is the greatest honour I’ve ever had as a filmmaker,” says Cooper. “This film takes a couple years out of my life and looks at them very closely, a time when I made ‘Nebraska’ and went through some personal difficulties,” says Springsteen. “I’m so appreciative of Jeremy Allen White and the entire cast for their wonderful and moving performances—and Scott Cooper, one of the most generous collaborators I’ve ever worked with.” Starring Jeremy Allen White as Bruce Springsteen, the film is directed by Scott Cooper from his adaptation of Warren Zanes’ book of the same name. “Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere” also features Jeremy Strong as Springsteen’s long-time confidant and manager, Jon Landau; Paul Walter Hauser as guitar tech Mike Batlan; Odessa Young as Faye; Stephen Graham as Springsteen’s father, Doug; Gaby Hoffman as Springsteen’s mother, Adele; and David Krumholtz as Columbia executive, Al Teller. The film is produced by Cooper, Ellen Goldsmith-Vein, Eric Robinson and Scott Stuber. Tracey Landon, Jon F. Vein and Zanes executive produce. The film includes an original score by composer Jeremiah Fraites, cinematography by Masanobu Takayanagi, production design by Stefania Cella, costume design by Kasia Walicka-Maimone, and is edited by Pamela Martin. “Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere” will be in cinemas October 23.

Adapted from a Soviet Gulag survivor’s story, Sergei Loznitsa’s return to fiction is a Kafkaesque fable that echoes loudly amid contemporary political corruption. In 1937, fresh-faced lawyer Kornyev (Alexander Kuznetsov) receives a letter – written in blood – from a man alleging miscarriage of justice by the state secret police. The sender, Stepniak, has been imprisoned and severely beaten; he is near death’s door. Kornyev is a member of the party faithful, a true believer. He’s horrified by what Stepniak reveals, and decides to investigate, facing administrative hurdles along the way. Later, believing Joseph Stalin will want to know, he vows to take the case to Moscow. Anyone familiar with the history of the Soviet Union’s Great Purge already knows this story doesn’t end well. It’s not unfamiliar territory for Ukrainian director Sergei Loznitsa, either, having previously visited the era with his documentary The Trial. Two Prosecutors, his first fiction feature since Donbass, is based on a novella by dissident physicist Georgy Demidov, who was imprisoned in the Gulag for 14 years. Kuznetsov brilliantly conveys Kornyev’s perseverance against a system designed to intimidate and deter him from his course, while the film’s beautifully chilling and desaturated visual design underscores its oppressive atmosphere. Picking up the Prix François Chalais at Cannes, this bitingly topical, darkly absurdist legal drama is a terrifying vision of authoritarian abuse and malignant bureaucracy. “Five stars. Starkly austere and gripping … a very disturbing parable of the insidious micro-processes of tyranny.” – The Guardian

Set in a small town and focusing on its local church, Wake Up Dead Man is packed with stars, including Josh O’Connor as a the younger cleric to Josh Brolin’s autocratic, abrasive priest, Glenn Close as his right-hand person, plus Kerry Washington, Andrew Scott, Cailee Spaeny, Jeremy Renner (whose likeness had a memorable appearance in Glass Onion), and Mila Kunis as a local cop who is as determined as Blanc to solve this seemingly insoluble case. And there’s a murder that presents itself as an impossible crime. All that and Craig delivers perhaps his best Blanc yet.

New Farm Cinemas. Limited sessions. What was once a life-sustaining environment for Maitland Parker and his ancestors is now a toxic waste dump. The Wittenoom (Nambigunnha) Gorge Asbestos Mine in Western Australia was abandoned more than 60 years ago, but left behind millions of tons of deadly asbestos.
