Oil Lamps
(Petrolejové lampy)

A film by Juraz Herz
Czechoslovakia, 1971

Blu-ray Special Edition

“Herz’s films always guarantee something artful, bold, and unlike anything else from their time and place most evident in his lurid period-set drama Oil Lamps”
Kat Ellinger, Sight and Sound

From the director of The Cremator and Morgiana, Juraj Herz’s startling, decadent film is a bitter psycho-sexual romance centring on the tragic marriage between two cousins.

Presented from a beautiful new 4K restoration, this Blu-ray Special Edition also includes an audio commentary, short film and new writing on the film by author and Czech cinema expert Peter Hames.

Release Date: April 2025

Golem
A film by Piotr Szulkin
Poland, 1979

Blu-ray Special Edition

“A defiantly satirical and deeply political film... a striking and committed piece of anti-propaganda that has stood the test of time”
Kevin Lyons, EOFFTV

A dark satire of Communist Poland in the late 1970s, Piotr Szulkin's Kafkaesque science-fiction allegory is a precursor to Blade Runner, and evokes the post-apocalyptic landscape of Andrei Tarkovsky's Stalker.

This Blu-ray Special Edition also includes for the first time anywhere a selection of Piotr Szulkin's early short film works, newly remastered in HD - plus an all-new audio commentary by Michael Brooke.

The Barnabáš Kos Case
(Prípad Barnabáš Kos)

A film by Peter Solan
Czechoslovakia, 1964

Blu-ray Special Edition

“The verve of the Czech New Wave and the economy of classical Hollywood cinema. ... Barnabáš has bite beyond the travesties of the socialist state” Gabriel M Paletz

Peter Solan’s 1964 film is an absurdist, darkly funny
Kafkaesque satire of an authoritarian system that
rewards mediocrity and breeds petty dictatorship. Its
wry exposure of hypocrisy, sycophancy and the
corrupting influence of power remains, unsurprisingly,
fresh and relevant even today.

This Blu-ray Special Edition also includes Solan's early short film Nemecka (1974), a filmed introduction to the film - plus
a 32-page booklet with new writing on the film by author Jonathan Owen and filmmaker Peter Strickland.

Release Date: March 2025
