    A prizewinner at the 1998 Cannes Film Festival, TH A prizewinner at the 1998 Cannes Film Festival, THE HOLE is set in Taipei slightly in the future – just prior to the dawn of the 21st century. The vaguely sci-fi story follows two residents of a quickly crumbling building who refuse to leave their homes in spite of a bizarre virus that has forced the evacuation of the area. As rain pours down relentlessly, a single man is stuck with an unfinished plumbing job and a hole in his floor. This results in a very odd relationship with the woman who lives in the apartment below. Combining deadpan humor with an austere view of loneliness and several unexpected musical numbers, Tsai Ming-liang crafted one of the most original films of the 1990s – and one that seems oddly appropriate for today’s circumstances. New Reissue! Director's Cut! Tsai Ming-liang's THE HOLE is now showing in our Virtual Screening Room.

    One of the great psychedelic masterpieces of world One of the great psychedelic masterpieces of world animation, SON OF THE WHITE MARE is a swirling, color-mad maelstrom of mythic monsters and Scythian heroes, part-Nibelungenlied, part-Yellow Submarine, lit by jagged bolts of lightning and drenched in rivers of blue, red, gold and green. Directed by Hungarian animator Marcell Jankovics (famed for his 1974 Oscar-nominated short Sisyphus), SON OF THE WHITE MARE has been restored in 4K using the original 35mm camera negative and sound elements by Arbelos in collaboration with the Hungarian National Film Institute.
