Birgit Minichmayr, Christopher Schärf, Franziska Weisz, Marlene Streeruwitz, Rosa WaissnixOriginally produced by Film Movement in 2004.Newly restored in 4K and available for the first time in North America, Austrian auteur Jessica Hausner radically upends genre tropes and preempts the resurgence of folk horror with her second and most formally audacious feature, HOTEL. The deceptively simple premise of a young woman who takes on a job as a night porter at a remote Austrian hotel and encounters unexplained phenomena amounts to a grand treatise on the inhibiting potential of imagination, the fine line between banality and terror and the looming specter of fate. Hausner’s sophomore feature is a haunting metaphysical horror film unlike any other.Mode of access: World Wide Web.- Subjects: Feature films.; Foreign films.; Motion pictures.; Horror films.; Motion pictures, Italian.; Detective and mystery films.; Thrillers (Motion pictures, television, etc.).;

Bruno Todeschini, Elina Löwensohn, Léa Seydoux, Sylvie TestudOriginally produced by Film Movement in 2009.Afflicted with multiple sclerosis, Christine makes a pilgrimage to the holy site of Lourdes in hopes of a miracle. Among thousands of ailed visitors, she proceeds through the well-oiled machinery of the religious tourist destination until the unbelievable happens: she is suddenly able to walk. As Christine becomes the object of wonder and envy, bolstering and testing the faith of her fellow pilgrims, the question remains whether all is as it seems. A personal favorite of Martin Scorsese, Jessica Hausner’s acclaimed third feature distills the central theme of her filmography: the contentious gray area between faith and fact.Mode of access: World Wide Web.- Subjects: Feature films.; Foreign films.; Motion pictures.; Drama.; Motion pictures, French.;
