- DirectorJohn BockStarsBibiana BeglauLars EidingerFrank SeppelerHell's Bells is a new feature-length film by John Bock. Developed over the last five years and shot in Germany in 2016, the film is styled as a contemporary Western. It interweaves the familiar story and stock characters of the genre with the theatrical and anarchic mode of Surrealism for which Bock has become known. The story unfolds in a gloomy, nocturnal realm - an indistinct conflation of reality and dream - centering on an unnamed town. Against a backdrop of simultaneous industrialization and grinding poverty, Bock tells the story of a stranger (played by Bibiana Beglau) who arrives in town pursued by mysterious guilt. She is accompanied by a young deaf girl, who emerges gradually as a powerful force - telepathically controlling the course of the story. A conflict develops between two other characters - the local priest (Ulrich Matthes) and a diabolical, dandified villain (Lars Eidinger) who plays with Death in the style of a medieval demon. Each character is revealed to be burdened by a different kind of guilt - stemming variously from the loss of a child, the loss of morality, and the loss of religion.

Chance has hope that this will end before the fighting starts, but John wants war and war he'll get. The team gathers and take up arms to prepare for the worst. Riddled with guilt and heartache, all of these things must be put aside for Chance and his crew to take down the evil that has invaded their home. How much can one man give for the ones he loves, and the people who he owes - This modern day western tells the story of how people become legends, and how history gets written by the blood of sacrifice. No true legend is born until something or someone dies.

- DirectorJoseph E DanielStarsJohnny DayJim HorningOf Rails & Sails is a one-hour docudrama about the extraordinary life and times of Arthur Curtis James, a relatively unknown railroad baron, prominent and intrepid yachtsman, generous philanthropist, avant garde socialite and secret philanderer, who was one of the ten richest men in America in the 1920s and 30s, owning one-seventh of all the railroad track in the United States. Unlike his contemporaries - Vanderbilt, Morgan, Rockefeller - Arthur Curtiss James is not a household name. Arthur was a private man who did business quietly, efficiently, and smartly. His far-reaching, enormous philanthropic activities were done without fanfare, often anonymously. Yet he is an exemplar of privileged life during the Golden Age. He was the last great railroad developer, building the final and most complete transcontinental railroad system in America. He was also an extraordinary yachtsman who owned and sailed three of the great, legendary yachts of the time - over a quarter of a million lifetime nautical miles! His main residence was Beacon Hill House, a 33-acre estate in Newport, Rhode Island, but he owned expansive mansions in Manhattan and Tarrytown, New York, and in Coconut Grove, Florida. By all accounts he was a likable, reasonable gentleman of good humor. He was a patron of art and culture, and a generous benefactor to those in need. He was adventurous and fun loving - perhaps a little too fun loving, as whispered rumors of his infidelity and womanizing were not uncommon amongst the employees living on his estate. One such insinuation cost a close relative her inheritance. Drawing on the remarkable likeness of actor James Horning as Arthur, and Johnny Day as his friend Peter (and the film's narrator), Of Rails & Sails tells the story of this remarkable man, who died in 1941 but whose footprint still looms large today.
- DirectorStuart ElliottStarsPaul McGannKevin DicusCandace RiceUnderwater Pompeii is a fitting nickname for Baiae, a site in the same volcanic region of coastal Campania, only it wasn't vanquished by ash (like nearby Herculaneum) but swallowed by rising sea levels due to great geological activity, which is now naturally being reversed. Its bay opposite Positano became the favorite playground of imperial Rome's super-rich, who built spectacular villa complexes there, with private fish tanks, marinas, baths, even cutting edge architecture like an 'oculus'-lighted dome long before the pantheon. Its king of debauchery was tyrannical emperor Nero, who probably murdered his aunt Domitia for her major villa, like his domineering mother Agrippina (who survived a sabotaged vessel), and executed secret throne rival Piso who decided last-moment against killing Nero in his own, even grander villa. The staggering costs enabled stunning art and luxury, like a 'nymphaeum' (artificial pleasure cave) and first rate Greek paintings and sculptures.
