Just a couple of months before his death, in August 1963, he made one last film: a 25-minute short entitled Jean Cocteau s’adresse à l’an 2000 (Cocteau addresses the year 2000). The film comprises one still and highly sober shot of Cocteau facing the camera head-on to address the youth of the future. Once recorded, this spoken message for the 21st century was wrapped up, sealed and posted on the understanding that it would be opened only in the year 2000 (as it turned out, it was discovered and exhumed a few years shy of that date). If in The Testament Cocteau portrays himself as a living anachronism, a lonesome classical modernist loitering in space-time in the same buckskin jacket and tie while lost in the spectral light of his memories, here he acknowledges explicitly the irony of his phantom-like state: by the time the viewer sees this image, he, J. C., our saviour Poet, will long be dead. close

Discovery: Nostradamus is a film dedicated to a well-known predictor made by Brin Higgins.
In 1555, somewhere in the French wilderness, Nostradamus began its activity. They were mysterious poems filled with strange ideas. Today, however, it is generally accepted that these are not just poems: they are surprisingly accurate predictions of future events. The cataclysms and catastrophes he described come true hundreds of years after he wrote them.
Among the well-known events predicted by Nostradamus are the landing on the moon, the French Revolution and the disappearance of the satellite. close
The first in a planned series of films about radical filmmakers by film critic Nicole Brenez and filmmaker Philippe Grandrieux, It May Be That Beauty more
The first in a planned series of films about radical filmmakers by film critic Nicole Brenez and filmmaker Philippe Grandrieux, It May Be That Beauty Has Strengthened Our Resolve is a portrait of Masao Adachi, who emerged during the Japanese New Wave of the 1960s as a screenwriter for Nagisa Oshima and Koji Wakamatsu, and directed a series of avant-garde films that grafted radical politics to the sexploitation genre. A 1971 visit to a Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) training camp while on the way back from Cannes resulted in Adachi's most infamous film, the agit-prop documentary Red Army/PFLP: Declaration of World War, which he co-directed with Wakamatsu. Soon after, Adachi joined a splinter cell of the Japanese Red Army in Lebanon, where he stayed from 1974 until he was deported to Japan in 1997 to serve time for passport violations. close

Apatity, a far-north industrial town in Russia, first came into being as a USSR concentration camp. Although its environment is at the brink of ecological disaster, the people here still believe in the state’s promise of immortality that can be gained through sacrificial service to the fatherland. This is how the elite in a totalitarian state buy a person’s will, strength, talent and, indeed, life, turning the human being into another resource that is as faceless as a grey lump of ore. ‘I cannot fight big corporations or state structures with a film. But I hope that there is someone in the darkness of the cinema whose heart will get a bit warmer after seeing it,’ says the director. The larger part of the film was shot during the polar night. close

Today there is no doubt that Leo Tolstoy is one of the greatest Russian writers. He immortalized his name, writing such outstanding works as War and Peace more
Today there is no doubt that Leo Tolstoy is one of the greatest Russian writers. He immortalized his name, writing such outstanding works as War and Peace and Anna Karenina, and went down in history as a prolific and influential philosopher and moralist.
Alan Entob, an Air Force employee and TV presenter, in The Trouble with Tolstoy: At War with Himself, takes an epic trip across Russia to explore Tolstoy’s life and legacy, and the classic of Russian literature appears as a big troublemaker.
A complex and troubled young man, no stranger to gambling and other charms of bachelor life, becomes a writer during his military service in the Caucasus and Crimea. The experience he gained on the front lines will eventually come in handy when writing War and Peace. The book, which is now recognized as the “gold standard” by which all other novels are judged and through which its author was recognized as a staunch pacifist.
In the course of the development of the plot of the film “Tolstoy’s Passion”, Alan’s expedition leads him to Kazan, where Tolstoy lived as a teenager, to Sevastopol, in the defense of which he took part, to St. Petersburg, with which the writer so much connected, and to Tolstoy’s idyllic estate “Yasnaya Polyana”, his home for many years, where, including, he lived with his wife Sophia, who gave him 13 children. close

“In re-viewing our Super 8 films, shot between 1972 and 1981, it occurred to me that they comprised not only a family archive but a testimony to the pastimes, lifestyle and aspirations of a social class in the decade after 1968. I wanted to incorporate these silent images into a story which combined the intimate with the social and with history, to convey the taste and colour of those years.” Annie Ernaux close
A team of mathematicians is working together on a big project. Excitement of discovery, hope and disappointment, competition and recognition are shown more
A team of mathematicians is working together on a big project. Excitement of discovery, hope and disappointment, competition and recognition are shown from an infinitely close distance. Scientists united by the idea of discretization, which, in short, means: constructing continuous objects from basic building blocks. Akin to the scientists' search for the right discretization of continuum, this film itself is composed of fragments - individual characters of different ages, temperaments and scientific approaches - which form a single continuous melody. The question of where the boundaries lie between mathematics and the lives of those who are involved in it and how much they are willing to sacrifice is as important as the search for precise scientific answers. A unique and unprecedented dive into the unknown world of mathematicians. close
