Some of the greatest films of the past century, showing in this three week series - all released by the distribution
house KINO in celebration of its 30th Anniversary as a significant figure in global cinema. From classics by Fritz
Lang, Von Sterberg and Luis Bunuel to mid-20th Century masters like Kurosawa and Tarkovsky to some of the
best among the ranking modern visionaries; Michael Haneke, Aki Kaurismaki and Wong Kar-Wai. Of particular
note is Andrey Zvyagintsev's "The Return" - which had a very, very limited theatrical release on its premier in
2004 - and stood as the cinema highlight of that year for me.
