Accompanied by unseen archive and beautifully shot in HD, the film goes on to explore the rapid advance of digital cinema and the likely demise of 35mm film. Is this really The Last Projectionist?

After her father (Ryan Phillippe) presents her with a mysterious music box, Clare Shannon (Joey King) is surprised to find her every wish coming true. Her joy slowly morphs into terror as she begins to realize the bloody price of each new wish.

But not everything is as it may seem.

Exploding with social commentary, jokes, sight gags and basic anarchy unseen in contemporary film, Schizopolis is an oddball satire on late twentieth century anxiety in an age of Scientology-like organizations, business politics and the disintegration of marriage.

Quite simply, this film has to be seen to be believed. Created as a guerilla project with Soderbergh as writer, director and star, Schizopolis leaps into unchartered territories of the absurd.

In 'The Five Obstructions' iconoclastic director Lars Von Trier dares legendary 'Renaissance' man and director, producer, novelist, poet and television commentator Jorgen Leth to remake his seminal 1967 short documentary 'The Perfect Human', a cocktail-chic, tongue-in-cheek meditation on human

behaviour that Von Trier greatly admires. It's a challenge with a difference, for Leth has to re-produce the film five times, each under fiendish conditions imposed by the perversely playful - and frequently downright sadistic - Von Trier. Leth stoically rises to the challenge; bravely soldiering on through having to render his work into cartoon form, shoot it in Cuba, again in India, and under other increasingly arduous limitations.
