Rainer Werner Fassbinder - D – 1982 – fiction – black & white – 104’ – OV – STT FR / NL
Fourth instalment in Fassbinder’s tetralogy about post-war Germany, shown through the portraits of four women (Lili Marleen, Maria Braun, etc). In this film the heroine is a former star of the film company UFA, now an alcoholic and drug addict facing a grim fate. Rosel Zech plays the lead, and Xavier Schwarzengerger’s black-and-white photography is remarkably well suited to the portrayal of this cold and cruel society with no place for generosity or dreams.

Arsen A. Ostojic - CR – 2004 – fiction - black & white – 100’ – OV – STT FR / NL
A handful of people come and go in the medieval quarter of Split in Croatia. A small-time dealer, a junkie in need of a fix, a widow and her young son, an adolescent couple and American soldiers on leave…their destinies cross and their lives change at midnight. This elegant black-and-white film by Arsen Anton Ostojic is powerfully engaging, at once poetic and subtle.

Martin Scorsese - USA – 1980 – fiction - black & white + color – 126’ – OV – STT NL / FR
Powerful evocation of the life and career of Italo-American boxer Jake La Motta and arguably one of Martin Scorsese’s best movies. A brilliant Robert De Niro plays the champion who wins in the ring while his private life disintegrates. Michael Chapman’s black-and-white photography is rich in contrasts and the fight scenes, filmed with rare intensity, are among the best ever.
