A brand new restored version of the historical drama about the young nobleman Ondřej and his fellow knight Armin, who embody the clash between the longing for freedom and the ascetic worship of religious dogma as life’s purpose. Featuring acting legends Petr Čepek and Jan Kačer under the dual direction–screenwriting helm of František Vláčil and Vladimír Körner.
The Special Jury Prize at the 1959 Cannes Film Festival went to a powerfully crafted story of forbidden love between a Wehrmacht sergeant and a Jewish schoolteacher in a Bulgarian town in 1943, where Greek Jews awaited deportation to Auschwitz. The digitally restored, gripping psychological study is being presented on the occasion of the Konrad Wolf´s centenary.
The renowned persistence of Commissioner Le Goff (Lino Ventura) is tested once again when the Sicilian clan led by patriarch Vittorio Manalese (Jean Gabin) joins forces with the notorious thief Roger Sartet (Alain Delon), as a display of highly valuable jewels is being prepared in Villa Borghese. Iconic heist film with Ennio Morricone´s score.
Marlon Brando, Jane Fonda, and Robert Redford shine in a gripping crime drama set in a small Texas town, where a prisoner’s escape unleashes a wave of fear and violence. February 2026 marks sixty years since the film’s premiere, in which the creator of Bonnie and Clyde and Little Big Man exposes American small-town mentality in a way that still sends shivers down the spine today.
Alvin Straight embarks on a 240-mile journey to see his estrenged brother who has just suffered a stroke. Determined to see him despite his own health ailments, Alvin climbs onto his old lawn mower and sets off at a speed of five miles per hour. Tender spiritual odyssey is being presented on the occasion of what would have been the eightieth birthday of the one and only David Lynch.
Maciej Chełmicki, a member of the Home Army, is tasked shortly after the end of World War II with eliminating a communist leader. One of Andrzej Wajda’s early masterpieces, whose centenary we now mark, tells the story of a man caught between ideals, conscience, and historical events. It immortalized Zbigniew Cybulski (1927–1967), the acting comet nicknamed the “Polish James Dean.”
Seventy-five years after its creation, the iconic satire on Hollywood’s dream factory has received an exclusive digitally restored 4K version. This ultimate noir classic casts light and shadow on the obsessive relationship between aging silent film star Norma Desmond and the young, worldly-wise screenwriter Joe Gillis, who has yet to find success.
