Peter Kuran’s legendary and award-winning 1995 documentary Trinity and Beyond is easy to at first dismiss as explosion porn. Nothing could be further from the truth. He discusses the engineering issues with key physicists from Los Alamos, resurrects illuminating television and military documentary footage to punctuate the nuclear zeitgeist, and features in-depth chronologies of nuclear test operations using recently-declassified, digitally-restored footage. All this narrated in a tomb-like whisper by the great William Shatner and set to a haunting score provided by (the appropriately ironic) Moscow Symphony Orchestra.

A haunting, breathtakingly photographed tale of good and evil, love and revenge, INCUBUS also has the odd distinction of being filmed entirely in Esperanto, the language created in 1887 to facilitate easy communication between people of different cultures.Read More »

Shy, introverted eager-beaver young school teacher Melodye Amerson (sweetly played by the adorable Kim Darby of Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark fame) takes a job at a remote, quiet rural farming community that’s isolated from the rest of the world. The job proves to be far more difficult and challenging than she initially figured: the students are extremely terse, reserved and uncommunicative, the other townspeople are every bit as reticent, mysterious and unapproachable, and everyone lives by a strict code which leaves Melodye feeling confused and alienated.
