House on Haunted Hill

This fan favorite chiller from gimmick master William Castle stars horror icon Price in one of his most gleefully sinister performances. 

A black and white photo of a woman in traditional Japanese clothes, seen from the back, leaning over a table setting on the floor, which human figures out of focus in the background.

Notes of an Itinerant Performer

Largely due to its atypical period setting in the late Meiji era and its theme of female self-sacrifice, Shimizu’s film has drawn comparison to similar works by Kenji Mizoguchi.

An older man leans against a desk while he looks quizzically at a green spangled dress in the extreme foreground, seemingly worn by a woman.

Dodo

A dodo, a bird extinct for the last 300 years, shows up at the villa of a financially troubled family on the eve of the daughter's advantageous wedding to a wealthy heir. 

A black and white image of a group of Japanese children and two adults standing in front of a STOP sign at the side of the road looking at the camera forlornly

Children of the Beehive

An image that looks like slightly degraded video from the eighties or nineties in which a woman holds a camcorder to her eye and aims toward the screen.

Three Promises

This Kid, There (Ce gamin, là)

A contemplative and intimate portrait of special educator Fernand Deligny and his “network,” a 1970s rural community in the south of France where adults live with and care for non-speaking autistic children. 

A group of five people with bags over their heads and buttons for eyes in a room with white walls. One of the people stands with their arms outstretched and the others are sitting on the floor
