List of short films to be shown at the Film Club

1. Bela Tarr PROLOGUE 5 min (Hungary)
Prologue, Stunningly paired with Mihály Vig's repetitious and mournful
waltz, this film offers us a singular and far-reaching addition to Visions of
Europe that cements, once again, Tarr's grim view of the working class in
Hungary, and elsewhere.

2. Wim WENDERS 12 MILES TO TRONA 11 min (Germany)
Wenders' contribution drew upon a personal experience that he has not often
openly discussed—an accidental drug overdose that occurred 33 years prior to
making a film that concluded with the director being rushed to hospital and
nearly dying.

3. Victor ERICE LIFELINE 9.30 min (Spain)
A short film that is poetically dense which, in some ways. returns to the theme
of the haunted rural world of SPIRIT OF THE BEEHIVE. “In the dark ... the
cry of a new-born ... baby breaks the silence of the countryside ... on a hot
summer's evening”.

4. Hervé CONSTANT BETWEEN TWO WORLDS 8 min (France)
Strolling with camera in hand along the banks of the Serpentine, in Hyde Park,
the artist and filmmaker Hervé Constant lingered at a favourite spot, near the
boating section. Everywhere he looked he could see that everyone was
‘doing their own thing ... it was peaceful ... glorious!

5. Peter GREENAWAY EUROPEEN SHOWERBATH 5.30 min (England)
The film shows us naked men and women of differing sizes, each with the flag
of their country painted onto their bare flesh. Eventually the shower is
crowded, and the smaller countries find themselves standing on the outside
looking in. Then the shower stops. It's too late for them.
