Films turning one hundred in 2027. The summit of silent cinema and the year sound arrived: Lang's Metropolis, Murnau's first American film, Gance's Napoleon, Hitchcock's first thriller and The Jazz Singer, all in a single season.
14 films
German cinema between the wars, from Expressionist nightmare to New Objectivity. Studio artifice, unchained cameras and modern anxieties that shaped the look of horror, science fiction and film noir for decades to come.
6 films
The birth of non-fiction cinema. Polar explorers, witch trials, city symphonies and the kino-eye: films that took the camera out of the studio and turned the real world into cinematic form.
9 films
Circus, stage and cabaret on the silent and early sound screen. Clowns, phantoms, showmen and singers in films where performance is both spectacle and fate, and where a newly composed score finds its natural home.

The silent screen at its most monumental: vast sets, casts of thousands and running times built for an event. From Griffith's Babylon to Gance's Napoléon and the chariot race of Ben-Hur, films made to fill a great hall and an orchestra pit.
8 films
Chaplin, Keaton, Lloyd and Langdon: the great clowns of the silent screen, their stunts and their timing. Comedy that needs no translation and works for every audience, from family matinees and schools to festival nights.
12 films
Horror for late screenings, from Bela Lugosi in White Zombie to Romero's Night of the Living Dead. Vincent Price, early Corman and the first Coppola: low budgets, bold ideas and an audience that never stopped coming back.
11 films
From the rocket in the Moon's eye to flying saucers on a shoestring. Science fiction across six decades: Méliès and Fritz Lang, the Flash Gordon serial and the invaders of the 1950s drive-ins.
