A faithful stalker guides a melancholic writer and a skeptical scientist into the Zone, a stretch of heavily guarded land where the ordinary laws of physics no longer apply. At its centre lies a room said to grant a person's deepest, innermost desires.
Tarkovsky's most well known masterpiece, Stalker, turns the spectacle of the Zone into an introspection for the three men inside it. In this liminal nothingness, the camera lingers on moss and rust and water until stillness feels comfortable.

Nine years after their chance encounter in Vienna, American author Jesse and French environmentalist Céline cross paths once more in a Paris bookstore on the final leg of Jesse’s European book tour. With barely an hour before Jesse must catch his flight back to the United States, the pair wander through sunlit Parisian alleyways, quiet cafes, and a barge along the Seine. As their casual catch-up unfolds in near real-time, playful conversation rapidly gives way to an intimate confrontation with lost time, unfulfilled promises, and the quiet regrets of adulthood.
Nominated for the Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay, Richard Linklater’s second entry in his seminal Before trilogy is a masterpiece of naturalistic, dialogue-driven cinema.

At a routine general meeting of a tranquil, provincial tennis club, Heribert (Hape Kerkeling), long-time chairman of the club, and his ambitious deputy Matthias (Friedrich Mücke, Balloon) put forward a simple vote on the purchase of a barbeque grill for the next club party. However, Melanie (Anja Knauer) unexpectedly ignites a cultural clash when she suggests buying a second grill for her doubles partner Erol (Fahri Yardim), the club’s only Turkish member, because devout Muslims cannot eat food cooked alongside pork. What starts as a thoughtful gesture quickly snowballs into a heated debate about much more than a grill but instead, roasting each other. As atheists are pitted against believers, progressives against traditionalists, soon the discussion escalates until the club is brought to the brink of collapse.

Some movies are meant to be watched in quiet contemplation; others demand to be experienced as a party. We are cranking up Filmhouse’s 7.1 sound system to present the definitive 4K restoration of Talking Heads’ cinematic milestone in all its high volume glory!
Captured over three nights at Hollywood’s Pantages Theatre in 1983, Jonathan Demme’s concert film opens on an empty stage with David Byrne, an acoustic guitar, and a portable cassette player performing "Psycho Killer." Musician by musician, instrument by instrument, the stage is constructed before the audience's eyes, escalating into an exhilarating, high energy spectacle driven by Talking Heads at the peak of their live performance powers.
Whether you're a lifelong fan or discovering the iconic big suit for the first time, join us for an unmissable communal screening that bridges the gap between cinema and live concert!
