Quote:
Three people board a Johannesburg-bound train. Strangers, each on their own mission with a simple task to complete and in search of family to help them. But when they are betrayed by the very people whose protection they sought, they find themselves trapped in the city, invisible and alone. Vaya interweaves three separate plots that intersect and intertwine in a gripping, deeply moving, and often funny narrative about struggling for survival and dignity in the city. In the first story, a rural man has been promised a job by his big-city cousin; his earnings will allow him to pay lobola back home, which will change his life forever. Read More »

Gaile is a speech therapist who realises that, after a traumatising event in her life, she has lost the ability to have emotions. While she is preparing a video presentation, she notices that her emotions are indirectly starting to come back via the filmed picture ? especially aggressions. She decides to take on a daring experiment. She provokes extreme situations and hires a cameraman to film her. Through these shots, she is able to start a quest for her lost emotions: happiness, empathy, and hate. Her test arrangements get more dangerous, and the relationship to her cameraman, who has to implement her fantasies, begins to charge more and more sexually. A world of voyeurism, obsessions and perversion is revealed, and Gaile starts to ask herself how far she could go. A film about self-discovery and about the role of audiovisual media in our life. Don’t we do something similar as the emotional ‘collectress’ with our cellphone videos?Read More »

THE DEVIL’S BRIDE (VELNIO NUOTAKA) – 1974, Lithuanian Film Centre, 78 min. Imagine a wildly surreal early 1970s Lithuanian rock opera directed by Ken Russell circa TOMMY that is equal parts JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR (wailing guitar-heavy ballads, religious theme), FIDDLER ON THE ROOF (rural village setting) and THE WICKER MAN / BLOOD ON SATAN’S CLAW (folklore / folk magic), and you have some idea of the elemental strangeness and beauty of director Arūnas Žebriūnas’ THE DEVIL’S BRIDE. The film opens with one of our favorite musical sequences ever: a long-haired flower child God sits on his throne in the heavenly mountains, adored by angelic hosts in white robes and wings.

Quote:
Griffith stars as Abel Marsh, a small-town police chief whose casual demeanors hides a sharp analytical mind and gift for deduction. The plot gets under way when a young girl shows up in town. It happens that the girl is supposed to be dead: in fact, virtually everyone in the community attended her funeral. Who is the girl in the grave–and, more importantly, who was responsible for the murder of the “dead” girl’s parents? First telecast September 20, 1977, Girl in the Empty Grave was followed two months later by The Deadly Game; neither film would yield a weekly series.Read More »
