Controversial director Andrzej Zulawski is Polands wildest artist-outlaw, and his cranked-up genre films are as notorious as they are remarkable. ON THE SILVER GLOBE, a science fiction epic that was banned by authorities before completed, remains his best-known and least-seen work.In this disturbing glimpse into the future, a group of space pioneers crash-land on the Moon, where they begin a colony. All of the adults die off save one, who becomes known as the Old Man. The children revert to a primitive lifestyle, creating their own myths, deities, and social classes. Years later, a space bureaucrat from Earth arrives on the scene and is hailed as their great messiah. Halted while in production by the Polish government, and finally edited years later, this frightening science fiction parable offers an unsettling take on humanity. It all starts when a group of space colonists land on the moon to start a new life. But as the adults pass away, their children form a strange new civilization, with disturbing customs. Years later, when a politician from Earth arrives, he finds a world he is totally unprepared for. On The Silver Globe Reviews: "[A] visionary sci-fi epic which still seems way ahead of the game, perhaps akin to Tarkovsky on acid, extreme and unforgettable."-- David Thompson, Sight and Sound

DAY OF WRATH: Dreyer's horrifying masterpiece based on Hans Wiers Jenssen's play which, in turn, was based on actual records of witch trials during the 1600s. An old woman curses the local clergyman and his family as she is burned at the stake in this sobering and ghastly study of religious fanaticism. ORDET: Based on the play by Kaj Munk, this is the story of a man who is ridiculed for believing he is Christ until his miracles heal two families of different faiths angry at each other over a love affair between their children. A classic contrast of institutional religion vs. a personal interpretation of faith. AKA "The Word." GERTRUD: Adapted from Hjalmar Soderberg's 1919 play of the same title, GERTRUD tells the tale of a woman's search for idealized love and spiritual fulfillment, which takes her beyond the confines of a passionless marriage through a series of affairs ...
