Featured Screenings
The Decalogue
Ten one-hour films, each featuring an examination of one of the Ten
Commandments. Recognized a masterpiece the world over, The Decalogue
is a beautiful and powerful exemplar of what the cinema can be in the hands
of an honest seeker who balances philosophical probing with a master
storyteller's ear and an artist's eye for beauty.
The Searchers
The classic John Ford film that raises Western to the level of myth and
influenced filmmakers ever after, from Martin Scorsese to George Lucas. John
Wayne stars as an embittered ex-Civil War officer who comes home to find his
home violated by Comanches, and pours his bitterness into an obsessive quest
for vengeance.
After the Truth
Picture the New
Berlin: post-war, post-cold war, looking forward to a better future. Into
that picture steps a ghost from the past: Dr. Joseph Mengele ("the Angel of
Auschwitz") who is alive, if not well, and ready to come home from Argentina.
Knowing what his homecoming will provoke, Dr. Mengele retains a hotshot
public prosecutor for what will be the most infamous "trial of the century."
