A teenage girl and her 173 year old companion take an epic journey in French director Jean-François Laguionie's hauntingly poetic animated classic. GWEN AND THE BOOK OF SAND (GWEN ET LE LIVRE DE SABLE) - 1985, La Traverse Films, 64 min. "Why search the sand for answers? It has told us everything," whispers Roseline, the 173-year old desert nomad narrator of French director Jean-François Laguionie's hauntingly poetic animated feature of life after the apocalypse, where the few hardy survivors walk on stilts from well to well, scorpions glow like lanterns, and the mysterious Makou drops giant everyday objects from the skies. Into this desolate science-fiction landscape, part-DUNE, part-FURY ROAD, emerges the story's teenage heroine, Gwen, who refuses to hide in the shadows - and whose love for teenage boy Nokmoon, kidnapped by the Makou and its followers, will drive her and Roseline on an epic journey across the endless sands. A sublime and breathtaking masterpiece of world animation, GWEN... is on par with René Laloux's FANTASTIC PLANET, Hayao Miyazaki's NAUSICAÄ OF THE VALLEY OF THE WIND and Mamoru Oshii's ANGEL'S EGG as a visually stunning and truly otherworldly experience. Beautifully restored in 4K with the director's participation for La Traverse Films in France and released for the first time ever in the U.S. by Deaf Crocodile. In French with English subtitles. Bonus Materials New video interview with director Jean-François Laguionie, moderated by Dennis Bartok of Deaf Crocodile. (In French with simultaneous English translation).

Top writers, scientists and leaders converge annually on Stockholm to take part in the awarding of the prestigious Nobel Prizes. This year, however, some honorees will find the great event eclipsed by a greater challenge: staying alive. Paul Newman is up to his famed baby blues in danger and intrigue as Andrew Craig, a hard-drinking author and Nobel winner for literature. At first dismissive of the award and only interested in the cash it brings, Craig finds his writerly instincts and wit sharpened when he senses the physics prize winner (Edward G. Robinson) is an impostor. He sets out to expose the hoax, free-falling into a Cold War ploy of secrets, pursuits, subterfuge and assassins adapted for the screen (from Irving Wallace's best seller) with spice and wit by Ernest Lehman (North by Northwest, Sweet Smell of Success).
