Polak's pioneering feature 'Ikarie XB1' is one of the cornerstones of contemporary sci-fi cinema. It predates Star Trek and Kubrick's '2001: A Space Odyssey' and was clearly an influence on both, as well as on almost every other science-fiction work that followed.

Adapted from a novel by Stanislaw Lem, the film is set in 2163 and follows a mission deep into space in search of alien life. During their perilous journey the crew confront the effects of a malignant dark star, the destructive legacy of the 20th century and, ultimately, the limits of their own sanity. With outstanding design and cinematography, 'Ikarie XB1' is imbued with a seriousness and intelligence rarely seen in science-fiction cinema of the period.

Jack Gold's film about life and death in a shabby London hospital interweaves the story of the real hospital with a fantasy one which exists in the soap-opera world of 'Nurse Norton's Affair', where everything is fully funded and patients are miraculously cured.

A darkly funny satire on the state of the nation and also a deeply prescient comment on TV's ability to turn tragedy into entertainment, 'The National Health' sits somewhere between the bawdy antics of the 'Carry On' films and the angry satire of Lindsay Anderson's 'Britannia Hospital', but emerges as a starkly prophetic film, more relevant now than ever.
