A FILM BY BEATRICE MINGER & CHRISTOPH SCHAUB
A cinematic journey into the mind of Eileen Gray. The Irish designer builds a refuge on the Côte d'Azur in 1929. Her first house is a discrete, avant-garde masterpiece. She names it E.1027, a cryptic marriage of her initials and those of Jean Badovici, with whom she built it. Le Corbusier, upon discovering the house, becomes intrigued, obsessed. He covers the walls with murals and publishes photos of them. Gray describes these paintings as vandalism and demands restitution. He ignores her wishes and instead builds his famous Cabanon directly behind E.1027, which dominates the narrative of the site to this day. A story about the power of female expression, and men’s desire to control it.

NASH THE SLASH RISES AGAIN! A new film that uncovers the sinister Canadian electronic music innovator who took his name from the killer butler in a 1927 Laurel and Hardy silent film, covered his head in surgical bandages and performed an unearthly one-man-show surrounded by half a ton of electronic sound processors and a couple of tape recorders. It’s about artistic integrity, courage and the price-tag that comes with it. Iggy Pop called him “so unusual and brilliant”.
High technology meets the age of horror, surreal and demented… NASH THE SLASH RISES AGAIN!

A FILM BY GUY MADDIN
Guy Maddin’s early masterpiece takes place in a 19th-century Alpine village where the wary residents —adult, child and animal!—must speak softly and tread lightly lest they cause an avalanche. But sexual frenzies teem in this world of repression, setting off incestuous love triangles and quadrangles with deadly consequences. Bathed in lurid, luminescent tints, Careful resembles a vintage melodrama from another planet—something that could only emerge from the singular mind of Maddin.
