Golem
In a dark dystopian future, a solitary worker suffers a breakdown after being interrogated about crimes he has no recollection of committing. Is he a real human, or a clone created by scientists in an attempt to engineer a new, more submissive race of humans?
A dark satire of the Poland in the late 1970s, Piotr Szulkin's Kafkaesque science-fiction allegory is a precursor to Blade Runner, and evokes the troubling apocalyptic landscape of Andrei Tarkovsky's Stalker. Its depiction of irresponsible science, fake news and unfettered AI now make it all the more prescient.
This edition also includes the world Blu-ray premieres of a selection of Piotr Szulkin's early short film works.

Park Lanes
Kevin Jerome Everson's epic, immersive, observational eight-hour documentary Park Lanes follows workers in an American factory over the course of an eight-hour shift, from clock-in to clock-out, experienced and presented in real time.
Rendering the often invisible and unacknowledged routines and rhythms of manufacturing visible, the film also celebrates the craft and skill developed through the repetition of movements and gestures and explores not just the relationship between film and spectator, but of labourers and their machines.
