The Triumph of Love
Synopsis
Agis has been brought up, secretly, in a villa protected by solid walls, by the philosopher Hermocrates and his sister Leontine, according to the principles of the enlightenment philosophy. Devoted to reason, they despise emotions and feelings and distrust what is mysterious and inexplicable. They have taught the young Agis to hate the princess.
Leonide and her maid Corine, disguised as male students, Phocion and Hermidas, sneak into the villa. They appear anxious to drink deep from the fountain of Hermocrates' Knowledge and are assisted, at a price, by the servants Arlequin and Dimas. Weaving a tangled web of emotions, the two girls put into effect a cunning and sensual plan. The outcome of which provides the wherewithal for love to triumph.

The Wilding
Director: Adam Park
Year:
Told through leaked footage compiled by a whistle-blower, the film follows Emma and Richard, a couple thrust into the wilderness to survive for 100 days. Their confidence quickly turns to terror as a malevolent creature begins stalking them, ultimately killing Richard in a gruesome attack. Emma escapes and infiltrates the facility where the show's creators review their "progress." There, she discovers the chilling truth: the creature is part of their unholy science. With the odds stacked against her, Emma turns the tables - delivering brutal justice with unexpected aid from the very horror that was meant to destroy her. A darkly satirical blend of horror, sci-fi, and mockumentary, THE WILDING exposes the monstrous extremes the powerful will go to cheat death - and the human cost of their ambition.
