This TV miniseries turned out to be one of the most remarkable Jules Verne adaptations, remaining unusually faithful to the original book, including the exterior design of the Nautilus. Deviations from the original book were either limited to budget restrictions or moderate artistic liberty in a constructive sense: While it seems not credible that the Nemo of the book achieved various, physical demanding stunts, Omar Sharif is much younger, relies on what's left of his crew and eventually shares the same fate as his alter ego James Mason in the Disney version of 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.

The family takes advantage of the country’s welfare system, while the authorities keep them fed with illegal immigrants, children and handicapped folk. Thankfully, these are traditional vampires and must keep to a strict moral code, even if the teenage daughter does want to become human. When they break the clan rules they are exiled to Canada, where even vampires have to work for a living! Far more credible than Twilight’s vampire family, there is plenty of feeding frenzy action amidst this comedy of manners. At times it can be very disturbing, at other times, laugh-out-loud funny, not to mention the satirical dig at Belgium. Think Spinal Tap meets The Munsters, in Benelux."

"We’ve seen the power of Facebook and Twitter to rally people for a cause, even if it is only to create an alternative Christmas number one. Imagine if all the people on social networks shared a common view and declared themselves a virtual country. This is the concept behind 8TH WONDERLAND, when a group of likeminded people decide to pool their collective energy and put it to use in the real world, starting with pranks such as putting condom machines in Catholic churches, before resorting to serious political activism in order to change the world. It is an example of international democracy that transcends borders and, like all ideals, works perfectly until someone decides to make himself leader. Between Facebook and Danny Wallace’s HOW TO START YOUR OWN COUNTRY, 8TH WONDERLAND is not beyond the realms of possibility, and the movie not only addresses this and some serious issues, it also entertains in a multitude of languages without resorting to stereotypes. A remarkable and genuinely entertaining film. Sign up as a citizen at www.8thwonderland.com" Quoting the program notes from the 2010 Sci-Fi-London site.

"If you were disappointed by the recent Surrogates movie, then this movie is going to restore your faith in that film’s underlying concept. In this future-set world mothers carry in-utero genetic clones of their children. The clones are kept in individual networked vats, and the person’s diseases and pain are downloaded to the clone throughout its life. In cases of emergency they can also be used for spare parts. The police and a journalist are investigating crimes involving the despositarios, such as the lovelorn man who kidnaps his ex-lover’s clone and keeps her in his room while trying to revive her humanity. Inside the police procedural and love story themes the film addresses many issues, such as right to life and the ethics of genetic engineering. Both thought-provoking and action-packed, this is another great example of the original and intelligent sci-fi films coming out of Mexico." Quoting the program notes from the 2010 Sci-Fi-London site.

Based on a story by Blake Edwards, the film version was adapted into a comedy.

Rooney remains with the mannequin family and discovers at the last minute that an atomic bomb will be detonated over his head. In a deliberately humorous scene, Rooney frantically tries to find a place to hide from the approaching explosion, only to close his eyes and stick his fingers in his ears as the bomb goes off." A similar scene would be featured 54 years later in the 2008 film Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Nurse Audrey Nelson, who marries "Blix" at the end, is the only female in the entire picture.

Michael Haneke's film of Franz Kafka's THE CASTLE pairs one of the most influential voices in 20th century literature with one of the most visionary filmmakers of the new millennium. Originally broadcast on Austrian television in 1997, Kino offers The Castle on US DVD for the first time. A film as complex, vivid, and "intriguing" (New York Times) as Orson Welles' The Trial, The Castle is both an ingenious, perversely faithful interpretation of the master of alienation's novel, and a worthy companion to The Piano Teacher, Caché and other films from the darkest leading light of contemporary cinema.A land surveyor identified simply as K is summoned to a remote mountain village by the local government, known as (and housed in) "the castle." Unable to convince underlings of the legitimacy of his position, he tries to take his case to castle officials. But the more K struggles to gain entrance, the more obstructive the village's provincial bureaucracy becomes. As the absurdity of K's circumstances and the depth and intricacy of the castle's hold on the villagers grows, Haneke masterfully evokes Kafka's vision of a dystopian society hobbled by paperwork and bled dry by conformism and convolution. Using an expert cast headed by Haneke regulars Ulrich Mühe and Susanne Lothar, and beautifully austere, Rembrandt-like visuals, Haneke transforms Kafka's unfinished novel into a potent, enigmatic, and complete film experience that is truly Kafkaesque.

The film is plagued by a shoe-string budget, amateurish filming, editing, audio dubbing, terrible acting and dialog. The film was distributed worldwide in VHS format by Trans World Entertainment and Star Classics Video. "The usual psycho-killer-looking-for-revenge drama gets an end-of-the-world overlay in novice helmer F. Javier Gutierrez’s unpleasant, predictable thriller “Before the Fall.” Apocalyptic scenario is meant to inject new life into a hoary formula, but the concept adds little tension after the first 30 minutes, and Armageddon doesn’t come nearly fast enough. Pic is accomplished if unoriginal, but objectionable scenes of child torture cross a line most adults will find extremely distasteful. College-age males may get a kick, but survival chances outside Spain are slim." Quoting Jay Weissberg in Variety.

A STATE OF MIND provides a rare glimpse into what is one of the world’s least known societies. North Korea is sealed off from outside influences. It borders China and Russia to the north, and to the south there is a 4km wide impenetrable border with South Korea. The country follows its own communist ideals, a strict philosophy known as the Juche Idea wrapped around the worship of the Kim dynasty – Kim Il Sung, their Eternal President who died in 1994 but remains Head of State, and his son and successor, Kim Jong Il, known as the General. The crew began filming in February 2003 with unique access to the two families’ day to day life from home, at work in the city and countryside -- a remarkable insight into a part of North Korean society never before allowed. As their Korean minder explained “you have to understand, no one has ever been allowed to see, let alone film, what you are witnessing.” Western eyes, for the very first time, have a unique insight into North Korean society, its people, its way of life, and its total devotion to their leader and ruler, Kim Jong Il.

"A special birthday trip becomes a living nightmare for a city-dwelling couple and their friend. World Premiere. As a special birthday surprise, Rick whisks his girlfriend Sadie away to the secluded island of Amen, unaware of the horrors that lie in wait for them. Amen is a place notoriously difficult to reach, and it isn't long before Rick and Sadie, along with their friend Jonny, realise that getting there is the least of their worries, it is escaping that will prove the real problem. Filmed on the wonderfully spooky island of Lindisfarne, directors Mark Harriott and Mike Matthews gleefully exploit fears of isolation and displacement as our ill-fated trio fall victim to the macabre traditions of an antiquated community. A refreshingly queer take on the classic British horror film, Unhappy Birthday has a playfully retro vibe, a healthy disrespect for religion and a deliciously deviant heart." Quoting Michael Blyth from the 2011 London Lesbian and Gay Film Festival site. Atlantis: The Lost Empire is a 2001 American traditionally animated action-adventure film created by Walt Disney Feature Animation—the first science fiction film in Disney's animated features canon and the 41st overall. Written by Tab Murphy, directed by Gary Trousdale and Kirk Wise, and produced by Don Hahn, the film features an ensemble cast with the voices of Michael J. Fox, Cree Summer, James Garner, Leonard Nimoy, Don Novello, and Jim Varney in his final role before his death. Set in 1914, the film tells the story of a young man who gains possession of a sacred book, which he believes will guide him and a crew of adventurers to the lost city of Atlantis. Development of the film began after production had finished on The Hunchback of Notre Dame. Instead of another musical, the production team decided to do an action-adventure film inspired by the works of Jules Verne. Atlantis was notable for adopting the distinctive visual style of comic book creator Mike Mignola. At the time of its release, the film had made greater use of computer-generated imagery than any of Disney's previous animated features; it remains one of the few to have been shot in anamorphic format.

Although the film passed through the European censors, the film's release in Europe caused controversy nevertheless. Critical reaction ranged from praise to disgust. The film received an American debut in an edited and dubbed form in 1962 under the title of The Horror Chamber of Dr. Faustus. In the United States, Faustus was released as a double feature with The Manster. The film's initial critical reception was not overtly positive, but subsequent theatrical and home video re-releases increased its reputation.

Stalker is a 1979 art film directed by Andrei Tarkovsky, with a screenplay written by Boris and Arkady Strugatsky, loosely based on their novel Roadside Picnic. It depicts an expedition led by the Stalker to take his two clients to a site known as the Zone, which has the supposed potential to fulfill a person's innermost desires. The title of the film, which is the same in Russian and English, is derived from the English word to stalk in the long-standing meaning of approaching furtively, much like a hunter. In the film a stalker is a professional guide to the zone, someone who crosses the border into the forbidden zone with a specific goal. The meaning of the word 'stalk' was derived from its use by the Strugatsky brothers for their novel Roadside Picnic, as an allusion to Rudyard Kipling's character Stalky from the "Stalky & Co." stories. Сталки was well remembered by the Strugatskys from their childhood, when they read the stories in their Russian translation. In Roadside Picnic, сталкер was a common nickname for men engaged in the illegal trade of prospecting for and smuggling of alien artifacts from the mysterious and dangerous "Zone". After fending off the attack from the Erasers, peace seems to have returned to Earth – but only for a short time.

After joining forces they are indeed a force to be reckoned with, but can they stand up to their sinister foe and successfully stop this overwhelming power? The Screwfly Solution is the seventh episode in the second season of Masters of Horror. It is based upon the 1977 science fiction short story of the same name by Alice Sheldon under the alias Raccoona Sheldon, credited in the film as James Tiptree, Jr. Many of the scenes in Sam Hamm's script are expansions of single lines in this epistolary story. Director Joe Dante read the story in the 1980s and had wanted to make a film version ever since. He presented the story as straight horror, eschewing his usual humor and without using his usual company of stock actors. Jason Priestley and Elliott Gould were the stars. When interviewed while shooting the film in Vancouver, the director summarized it: "It's vaguely political. It's not political in the same way that Homecoming is. It is about a plague that starts in the southern half of the U.S. and moves around the rest of the world. It is a story in which men are moved to kill all the women. It is extremely dark." Seres: Genesis is a 2010 action adventure and science fiction film written by Roberto Martín Martínez T. and directed by Angel M. Huerta.

Damnatus: The Enemy Within was a non-commercial low-budget movie made in Germany "by fans for fans" that takes place in the Warhammer 40,000 universe. The most enduring problem with Damnatus' release was a conflict of copyright laws in England and Germany. German copyright law considers a copyright to be unalienable, and thus Games Workshop, the rights holder, claimed to lose the rights to the intellectual property of Warhammer 40,000, on which Damnatus is based. Games Workshop has thus far refused to allow it to be shown, and has not changed this position despite online petitions and requests from the filmmakers. As a result, Damnatus was ended indefinitely on October 15, 2007. However, it was leaked through various torrent sites and is available on YouTube. Planet Raptor is a 2007 science-fiction made-for-television film directed by Gary Jones. It is a sequel to the 2004 made-for-TV film, Raptor Island.

GA-GA: Glory to the Heroes is a 1986 horror science fiction film written and directed by Piotr Szulkin. The Mechanical Butcher is an 1895 "humorous subject" created by the Lumière Brothers. Phil Hardy's The Overlook Film Encyclopedia: Science Fiction classes it as the first science fiction film. Translating "the mechanical butcher," the film purports to show a machine that automatically turns a live pig into various pork products; however, at least in surviving prints of the film, it looks like little more is going on than a butcher hawking his wares from a stand that just happens to have "La Charcuterie mécanique" painted on it. The theme was widely repeated in films such as Making Sausages by George Albert Smith, which depicted cats and dogs being converted into sausage by a machine. Smith recorded the first sale to Owen Brooks on December 22, 1897. American Mutoscope and Biograph made The Sausage Machine the same year, which was a parody of the conveyor belt system. Edison Studios followed with Fun in a Butcher Shop and Dog Factory, both of which showed pet dogs being turned into sausages. The former showed simply a primitive crank, while the latter film depicted an electric machine with a reversible process. Dariya Dil is a 1988 Hindi family drama film directed by K. Ravi Shankar and starring Govinda, Kimi Katkar, Roshni and Raj Kiran. The film was released on 8 January 1988 in India.

He is producing the film with Obst and his wife, Emma Thomas. Theoretical physicist Kip Thorne, whose works inspired the film, acted as both an executive producer and a scientific consultant for the film. Warner Bros., who produced and distributed some of Nolan's previous films, negotiated with Paramount, traditionally a rival studio, to have a financial stake in Interstellar. Legendary Pictures, which formerly partnered with Warner Bros., also sought a stake. The three companies co-financed the film, and the production companies Syncopy and Lynda Obst Productions were enlisted. Don't Blink is a 2011 Horror and Sci-fi film written and directed by Travis Oates. Beyond Atlantis is a 1973 science fiction horror film directed by Eddie Romero and based on a story by Stephanie Rothman. It was described by David DeCoteau as "one of the very few family-oriented B movies to come out of the Philippines." This was because star Patrick Wayne insisted that the film be a family movie. The budget was higher than usual for movies shot in the Philippines at the time due to the use of underwater photography. Producer John Ashley admitted that the movie was meant to be a ripoff of The Treasure of Sierra Madre, but he had high hopes for it because he liked the script so much. The film did not do well financially, something Ashley chiefly attributed to the PG rating. He also thought that the extensive underwater footage slowed down the action.

This is the debut feature from concept designer and artist Sandy Collora, who is best known for the 2003 short Batman: Dead End, one of the best fan films ever made. Hunter Prey is a tense chase film with the great production design you’d expect, and nods to Star Wars, westerns and other genre classics." Quoting the program notes from the 2010 Sci-Fi-London site.

It was directed by the directorial team of William Witney and John English. Doctor Satan is played by Edward Ciannelli and The Copperhead/Bob Wayne by Robert Wilcox. Henry Brandon was originally intended to play the part of Doctor Satan while wearing a regular devil costume, complete with horns. At the end of the 1930s, however, this would have stretched the audience's imagination too far so a more believable villain was written in the form of a sleek, gangster-style mad scientist played by Ciannelli. 1.

Film Production NotesFinal Fantasy: The Spirits Within emerges from its successful interactive game roots to deliver an exciting new breed of motion picture adventure. A fresh, provocative take on the sci-fi genre, the film blends spiritual underpinnings and the universal concerns of man versus nature with the energy of the digital gaming medium and the scope of the motion picture environment.Final Fantasy game creator Hironobu Sakaguchi’s vision to take the latest in computer graphic technology and the best artists in the world to create a brand new form of entertainment now comes to the big screen—a visual feast of concept, motion, design and imagination with all-new, hyperReal characters embarking on an all-new adventure.“I have always wanted to create a new form of entertainment that fuses the technical wizardry of interactive games with the sensational visual effects of motion pictures,” says Sakaguchi. “Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within takes us one step closer to that dream.“With the flexibility of these hyperReal characters,” Sakaguchi continues, “it really opens up new doors and a whole new level of ideas and possibilities for feature films and entertainment.”Adds Chris Lee, one of the film’s producers, “We have created technology to expand the envelope of what is possible for computer-generated human characters.”Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within represents the continuing evolution of the synergy between video gaming and cinema. It is the next creative step from the trendsetting Final Fantasy game series, which has sold more than 33 million units worldwide and ranks as one of the most popular interactive game franchises of all time. Each game and the film are originated from Final Fantasy’s rich storytelling tradition and underlying themes of love, friendship, dreams, epic adventure, life and death with a spiritual backdrop. The game series is renowned for creating genuinely touching characters and relationships and for always leaving players wanting more. Each installment has started anew with fresh characters and storylines in order to present a self-contained story. “That’s the philosophy that Sakaguchi brought to the movie as well,” says Chris Lee.“This is the first time that a film inspired by a video game has been directed by the creator of the game, in the medium of the game,” he continues. “What gamers have come to love about Final Fantasy is that Sakaguchi always raises the bar in terms of the images he produces and the storylines he creates. Those are the same standards that were applied to making this movie.“This is a chance to tell a great human story in a completely different medium. Only Sakaguchi would have the vision to take what he had learned in gaming and apply it to the motion picture process,” says Lee. Yet while capturing the kind of excitement, energy and integrity presented in the phenomenally successful game series, “the film’s subject matter and plot appeals not just to gamers but to a wide audience of moviegoers.”Columbia Pictures and Square Pictures present Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within. Hironobu Sakaguchi directs from an original screenplay written by Al Reinert and Jeff Vintar. Story by Sakaguchi. Motonori Sakakibara co-directs.

After Craven's original director's cut was shown to a test audience, the audience criticized the lack of graphic, bloody violence and gore that Craven's other movies included. Warner Bros. president Mark Tappin and the film's producers then demanded script re-writes and re-shoots, which included filming gorier death scenes and nightmare sequences, similar to the ones from Craven's previous horror hit, A Nightmare on Elm Street. Due to studio imposed re-shoots and re-editing, the movie was drastically altered in post-production, losing much of the original plot and more scenes between characters, while other scenes, including bloodier death scenes and a new ending, were added.

"Quentin Dupieux (aka Mr. Oizo) first entered the public conscious when his thumping techno track "Flat Beat" was released in 1999. The related music video and TV commercials featuring a yellow puppet named Flat Eric were also hugely successful. Dupieux went on to write and direct full-length films. His latest feature is Rubber, a wonderfully weird movie about — among other things — a tire that comes to life. Rubber begins in a desert. A series of chairs are laid out in a zig-zag pattern on a barren road. A man with a pair of binoculars anxiously stands by the road. A car becomes visible in the distance. As the car moves closer, the driver purposely begins to knock over the chairs. The car halts and a policeman emerges. He delivers a monologue and quickly disappears. The camera pulls back to reveal that a group of people was watching the entire sequence of events. The people are waiting for a movie to begin. A movie about a car tire named Robert that inexplicably comes to life. Robert realizes that he has powers. Psychic powers. Psychic powers that make things explode. Things like bottles. Things like rabbits. Things like human heads. As one might surmise from the description, Rubber presents two interconnected stories. One story is about the adventures of Robert the tire. The other is about a group of people watching a movie about the adventures of Robert the tire. If this sounds confusing, don't be alarmed. It is confusing. It is also ingenious. Rubber operates as both an homage to genre and a dissection of its logical innards. The film gleefully plays with a core cinematic conceit: suspension of disbelief. Screenwriters ask often ask the audience to accept the most unreal situations at face value. If stories about cyborgs, talking animals, walking corpses, and sentient bulldozers pass muster, why not a murderous tire with psychic powers? Quentin Dupieux executes this prankish self-reflexive story with style and precision. The film obviously has a dark comedic edge but everything is played straight. Mostly. The performers, who include Wings Hauser and Roxanne Medina, absorb the parade of exploding heads, murders, sight gags, and improbable situations with stone-face austerity. The utterly deadpan approach is crucial to making the concept work. After awhile, the abnormal becomes normal. One character says that "I never thought I'd identify with a tire." The audience will feel the same way. By the end, everyone will cheer Robert. Even if he is popping skulls like birthday balloons." Quoting the program notes from the 2010 Fantastic Fest site. Star Crystal is a 1986 science fiction movie, directed by Lance Lindsay. CyberTracker is a 1994 science fiction action film written by Jacobsen Hart and directed by Richard Pepin.

The film is a black comedy featuring a nuclear explosion at a family get-together. The film has multiple levels of meaning. It can be taken as a straightforward satire on nuclear weapons and the Cold War or a commentary on how commonplace and mundane technology has become in our lives. Says director Black: "Both of these were in my mind as I wrote the screenplay — and then 9/11 happened. The world was inundated with visions of collapsing skyscrapers and burning wreckage — and we couldn’t stop watching. For me, the film became more about our fascination with violence and how it is frequently presented as a form of spectacle and entertainment through the media.' Author of the short story, Darl Larsen, adds: "The genre that might be called "nuclear fiction" has always fascinated me, especially the often-banal way we tend to treat the most destructive force in our possession and The Snell Show seemed a fitting tribute to such ambivalence".

TEKKONKINKREET combines the imaginative fantasy and action elements of the best Japanimation with a dark and modern children’s story. A hybrid of cutting-edge 3D CGI technology and traditional Japanese anime, TEKKONKINKREET is unlike anything ever seen before, combining dynamic action, virtuoso visual treats, and heart-rending tragedy. TEKKONKINKREET’s child heroes, BLACK (Kuro) and WHITE (Shiro) nearly defy description, each blending equal parts superhero, hardened street urchin, and innocent child. They rage by day and disappear by night. They can fly. And their deftness with a kick, pipe or bat is unmatched. More importantly they are searching, fighting for the next adventure but knowing deep down that times are changing (and for the worse).Black is the “man with the plan”, older, hardened, and always ready for action. The lost innocent, aggressive, an impetuous force of violence, Black is the child forced to grow up. If there is no turning back for Black, his goal is to save what’s left of White’s innocence. Far from pure, White is clearly still a child, helpless, emotional, and open to the world, but paradoxically all-knowing, in tune with the poetry of streets. These two love each other, but it’s deeper than that: they cannot live without each other. White needs Black to survive. Black needs White to feel worthy, and to maintain hope in the world. TEKKONKINKREET opens as the two boys kick and fight their way through daily life. We meet White as he communicates in singsong to an imagined command center in the sky and reports that he has again kept the world safe from ‘bad guys,’ then retreats into a dream of a better life on the seashore. Meanwhile, perched on a telephone pole high atop Treasure Town’s streets, Black watches the action with the eyes of a hawk zeroing in on his next kill, rival kids from another neighborhood. A madcap chase ensues, with the boys hurtling down Treasure Town’s alleys and flying over its rooftops.But all is not fun and games in Treasure Town any longer. When Yakuza chieftain THE RAT arrives back in town, Black knows something is cooking. The Rat brings a new breed with him, led by an evil Lieutenant, KIMURA. They’ve been entreated by the BIG BOSS to clear the streets of Treasure Town for a new development, and Kimura relishes his newfound mandate. Much to the Rat’s dismay though, the Boss has wrecking plans for the old city, and he’s enlisted foreign influences to carry them out. Then SNAKE enters the mix. More deranged then all of them combined, Snake commands a band of treacherous and all-powerful ALIEN ASSASSINS. Life will certainly never be the same in Treasure Town.As the tension builds to a violent climax, the action shifts between the boys’ sweet, caring relationship and the encroaching violence of Snake and his assassins. Snake is greedy with violence, and he has the plan, the will, and the firepower to take over Treasure Town. With the prescience of a soothsayer, White senses this danger in his gut. And only Black has the ability to stop it. The table is set for a battle royale.Central to the soul of the piece, Treasure Town is a major character in itself, a jarring visual metaphor for the war between good and evil, darkness and light, between retaining innocent ‘treasures’ versus losing them to the guilt of greed. Treasure Town is Old Tokyo on steroids, with smiling moons, expressionistic clouds, and whimsical blimps always floating somewhere behind a city piled on top of itself- the dream city floating behind the invading nightmare.TEKKONKINKREET is a classic tale of innocence lost, and Treasure Town the perfect visual manifestation of this age-old theme. An amusement park taken over by a new, more corrupt and chaotic megalopolis, like Black and White Treasure Town rests perilously on the precipice of despair. United as one, preserving the balance of the city together, all turns to hell when Black and White are...

"In the tradition of Solaris and other deeply philosophical science-fiction works, The Clone Returns Home is art cinema at its best. Kohei, a young astronaut, agrees to participate in an experimental cloning program that will “regenerate” his body and memory should he die. So when he’s killed during a space mission, scientists are able to regenerate his clone. But problems occur with its memory, which regresses to Kohei’s youth and the accidental death of his twin brother. Distressed, the clone flees the lab in search of his childhood home. Along the way, he finds his own lifeless body in a space suit. Mistaking it for his brother, he continues his journey carrying the body on his back.Set somewhere between the near future and a dream, as if a figurative mist drifts through it, Kanji Nakajima’s first feature is distinguished by the metaphysical space it conjures. With each new incarnation of Kohei—his clone, his body, his soul, his twin—our literal sense of story gives way to a metaphysical one. With exceptional artistry (lyrical images, elegant moving masters, and evocative sound motifs), Nakajima explores identity, memory, and the ethical responsibilities of science. But, enriched by spiritual conceptions of life and death and the soul, the film’s emotional center and its poetry lie in these successive versions of Kohei, wandering in search of a home that no longer exists."

Bernard Marx is a different Alpha male with an inclination to thinking. He and a girl called Lenina Disney go visit a reservation of 'savages' where they meet a handsome young man John and bring him back to 'civilization'. John turns out to be the son of the director of the cloning authority, which causes a scandal and makes John a celebrity freak. John falls in love with Lenina but his desire is ruined by his antiquated sexual morale derived from reading Shakespeare. John hates the over-social but anti-emotional civilization, asks to be sent to live in isolation, and gets a job as a lighthouse guard. But even there he can't forget Lenina or escape his celebrity status. A Martian Picnic is a 2012 short comedy sci-fi animated family film directed and written by Patrick Neary.

Using brain-altering drugs, sensory deprivation and computer interfaces, they subject their patients to gruesome scientific tortures that often end in brutal death. After continued failure, they pursue one last project - which yields dangerous results. Rubber's Lover can best be defined as Japanese cyberpunk and industrial noir, in the same vein as Tetsuo: The Iron Man. Filmed in stark black and white, located in a setting of grim urban steel, steeped in machine aesthetic, driven by a kinetic style and empowered by a grinding metallic soundtrack, it draws on nightmarish horror and generates heavy fetishcore themes.

It was praised for its visual effects and sound direction, but thought to be average in its storyline and character development.

The movie covers some of the notable stories from the manga, with varying degrees of faithfulness. The movie and the manga have different endings because the movie was filmed before the manga had finished.

Singing works on a ferry boat where she meets a young soldier who claims that he will be her boyfriend one day. Initially, she doesn't believe him, but it turns out that he is right. "All that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream." This quote by Edgar Allan Poe might well be the motto of Hou Chi-Janʼs first feature film. On the narrative level, several dreams overlap and break up the story line as well as the chronology of the film until it appears as if not even the dreamers themselves can be sure at which dramatic stage of the story they are at a given moment. Hou Chi-Jan expertly manipulates narrative levels and genre elements. Dream and reality blend into one. "One Day" resembles a poem made of light, color, water and emotion, telling a melancholy love story in modern-day Taiwan." Quoting the program notes from the 2010 Berlin Film Festival site.

Dr. Morella's legacy is a clone whose only goal in life is its own survival and reproduction...no matter what the cost! "In the future, the very lifeblood of old Mexico - religion and freedom of expression - are outlawed. In their place is a society ruled by a totalitarian military government that controls its people through an enhanced synthetic food. Pablo, the future equivalent of a yuppie, who enjoys designer drugs and hunting poor people, is being groomed to be the next leader. When the charismatic head of a religious cult tells him his father is still alive but enslaved by the government, Pablo joins their rebellion to rescue him and bring down the industrial-military regime. This brilliantly realised film shows that Cuaron and del Toro are not the only Mexicans capable of making quality movies, and that Mexico is a force to be reckoned with in the world of science fiction." Quoting the program notes from the 2010 Sci-Fi-London site. Transmorphers: Fall of Man is a 2009 direct-to-DVD science fiction film produced by the American film studio The Asylum.

Like Excel Saga, it is a parody of other anime, manga and various aspects of popular culture, though in this case with the magical girl genre providing its primary focus and general structure.

The OVA was banned in New Zealand in December 2004, on the grounds that it "tends to promote and support the exploitation of children and young persons for sexual purposes, and to a lesser extent, the use of sexual coercion to compel persons to submit to sexual conduct."

Flash Gordon Conquers the Universe is a 1940 twelve episode serial film about Flash Gordon. It was the last of three Flash Gordon serials made from 1936 to 1940. The serial was produced and copyrighted by Universal Pictures. During the 50s, the three serials were shown on television. To avoid confusion with a made-for-TV Flash Gordon series airing around the same time, they were retitled, becoming respectively Space Soldiers, Space Soldiers' Trip to Mars, and Space Soldiers Conquer the Universe. King Features Syndicate had acquired the rights for showing and eliminated the original Universal Pictures titles. In the mid-1970s, all three serials were shown by PBS stations across the US, bringing Flash Gordon to a new generation, a full two years before Star Wars and Close Encounters of the Third Kind re-ignited interest in the science fiction genre.

The Lost Planet is a 1953 Columbia Pictures 15-chapter serial which has the distinction of being the last interplanetary-themed sound serial ever made. It was directed by Spencer Gordon Bennet with a screenplay by George H. Plympton and Arthur Hoerl. It appears to have been planned as a sequel to the earlier chapterplay Captain Video: Master of the Stratosphere and shares many plot-points, props and sets, as well as some of the same cast. However, the Video Rangers do not appear, and their uniforms are instead worn by "slaves" created electronically by Reckov, the dictator of the Lost Planet with the help of mad scientist Dr. Grood and enslaved "good" scientist Professor Dorn. The serial is interplanetary in name only, since while Dr. Grood has a "space projectile" identical to that seen in the Captain Video serial, the other characters fly to the Lost Planet in an ordinary light aircraft! As on the Rocky Jones, Space Ranger TV series, with which it shares a writer, the dialogue is often as unintentionally hilarious as that of an Ed Wood film. Typical: "How are we going to find it, it's the Lost Planet." Crosstalk is a 1982 science fiction thriller film made in Australia and produced by the New South Wales Film Corporation.

Walsh, and Creative Consultant Mary Harron bring Wolf’s acclaimed one-man Off Broadway show to the screen. The text from Wolf’s Obie Award-winning Off-Broadway show Another American: Asking and Telling was created verbatim from tape-recorded interviews conducted between 1996 and 1999. Like the play, this adaptation, aptly titled DON'T ASK DON'T TELL, uses Wolf's interviews with hundreds of soldiers and veterans, male and female, gay and straight and distills them into a compelling, and deeply humanist, exploration of this highly politicized issue.Director John C. Walsh, who was drawn to the richness of the play, has remained faithful to its spareness, yet brought a new dimension to the work. Walsh notes: "I didn't want to get in the way of the characters with distracting flourishes. The play was a gem, so it was really about pursuing a restrained visual style." By choosing to film in an actual abandoned Armory, the filmmakers found a real life setting for the characters that is natural, cinematic and, crucially, has great resonance with the film's subject.Marc Wolf adds “DON'T ASK DON'T TELL has always been, and will always be, about Silence. In the late 1990s, I interviewed military personnel who were silenced by our federal government because of their sexual orientation, and my goal is to tell their stories to as many people as possible. With the imminent fall of the policy, DON'T ASK DON'T TELL becomes the story of the struggle to break the Silence.” Living Fossil is a 2014 short science fiction documentary film written and directed by Sean Hanley.

But now, skate rats can claim their own fantastic filma sweet yet paranoid fairy-tale that blends the sympathetic quirkiness, clever understatement and exquisite visual polish of the post-millennial indie film wave with a bold surrealist sensibility echoing Fellini and Herzog as well as WILLY WONKA and THE PRISONER. MACHOTAILDROP aims first and foremost to amaze and amuse, and does so handily with its unusual characters and visual richesmuch of it was shot on the grounds of a stately manor outside Budapest, and production designer Jeffro Halliday's countless wise touches help the film look like it had a far greater budget (the kind that would never be laid out for such an off-the-wall oddball gem).

It was based on Alexei Tolstoy's novel of the same name. Mikhail Zharov and Igor Ilyinsky were cast in leading roles. Though the main focus of the story is the daily lives of a small group of people during the post-war Soviet Union, the enduring importance of the film comes from its early science fiction elements. It primarily tells of a young man, Los, traveling to Mars in a rocket ship, where he leads a popular uprising against the ruling group of Elders, with the support of Queen Aelita who has fallen in love with him after watching him through a telescope.

Former Max Headroom star Matt Frewer replaces Jeff Fahey in the title role of Jobe, the mentally challenged gardener transformed into a brilliant, computerized megalomaniac by a series of virtual reality experiments. Though destroyed at the end of the first film, Jobe finds a way to return to digital life, and he sets out in search of an important computer chip that will grant him frightening levels of power. A group of young hackers, led by Peter (Austin O'Brien), discovers this nefarious scheme and turns to retired virtual reality pioneer Ben Trace (Patrick Bergin) for help. Chase scenes and gunfights follow, both in the virtual world and the real world, as Trace and the boys try to figure out how to defeat Jobe. Despite a more blatantly futuristic setting, the sequel's special effects fail to match the standards of the first film, and the confused storyline proves more illogical than suspenseful, limiting the film's appeal to die-hard genre aficionados. ~ Judd Blaise, All Movie Guide.

They're also the default scapegoats when anything goes wrong socially, politically or economically. Edwin, director of brilliant shorts, devotes his debut feature to the Chinese-Indonesian experience in all its contradictions. For some, being Chinese is like having a firecracker go off in your mouth; others may think it's worth submitting to sodomy to help acquire a 'pure' Indonesian identity. The film's centripetal structure radiates out from Linda (Ladya Cheryl), the daughter of a dentist who ruined his own sight when he tried to change the shape of his eyes, and a volleyball champion who retired and became a pious Christian.

Stake Land is a 2010 horror film written by Nick Damici, Jim Mickle and directed by Jim Mickle. ""Ain't nuthin' out there but sundown and 'them.'" -Mister America is a lost nation. When an epidemic of vampirism strikes, humans find themselves on the run from vicious, feral beasts. Cities are tombs and survivors cling together in rural pockets, fearful of nightfall. When his family is slaughtered, young Martin (Connor Paolo) is taken under the wing of a grizzled, wayward hunter (Nick Damici) whose new prey are the undead. Simply known as Mister, the vampire stalker takes Martin on a journey through the locked-down towns of America’s heartland, searching for a better place while taking down any bloodsuckers that cross their path. Along the way they recruit fellow travellers, including a nun (Kelly McGillis) who is caught in a crisis of faith when her followers turn into ravenous beasts. This ragtag family unit cautiously moves north, avoiding major thoroughfares that have been seized by The Brethren, a fundamentalist militia that interprets the plague as the Lord’s work. Director Jim Mickle first grabbed the attention of horror film fans with his zombie-rat thriller Mulberry Street, in which Damici also starred and served as co-writer. They have teamed up again to deliver an even darker and bloodier shocker. Drawing on the post-apocalyptic frenzy described by Richard Matheson (author of the novel I Am Legend) and George Romero, Stake Land is a road movie with fangs, similar in its phantasmagoric journey to Gareth Edwards’s Monsters (also featured in this year’s Festival). With indie horror director Larry Fessenden (The Last Winter) serving as producer, Stake Land excels in large part because of Fessenden’s choice to take bigger chances and make bolder choices in spite of budget limitations. Fessenden has been supportive of the new wave of indie American horror directors like Mickle, Ti West and J.T. Petty, who are making the most of their micro-budgets in ways that would stymie their Hollywood brethren. The story of a live boy in a dead world, Stake Land is a bloodcurdling mix of honest scares and gripping action." Quoting Colin Geddes from the 2010 Toronto International Film Festival site.

Esben Storm says he was inspired by the "automatic" weapons of war in Operation Desert Storm. It's about God in a way. It's based on the lines from King Lear: `As flies to wanton boys are we to the gods. They kill us for their sport'. One of the themes is: if there is a God, what if that God is a prick; what if that God is just a bastard? For one of the characters, when he thinks that, it all makes sense, it makes sense of the world, that the world is such a slimy world of greed and selfishness and anguish and pain that the only way that it can make any sense is if the person who created the whole thing is... it's all a macabre joke. It's almost the opposite of Genesis 1: `We were made in God's image and likeness'. If you say, `We are sinful, horrible, we're in God's likeness, therefore that's what God is like'. Attack of the Sabretooth is a 2005 horror film that premiered on the Sci Fi Channel, directed by George T. Miller, and starring Robert Carradine, Nicholas Bell, Brian Wimmer and Stacy Haiduk.
