Project Detail

The White Pond

The White Pond, Bucharest

Synopsis

Bucharest in 1813. The city gates were closed because of the increasing death toll of the black plague. Over thirty thousand souls were buried in a place called ‘Balta Albă’, the White Pond. The area later became a park, shrouded in mystery and superstition, avoided at nighttime even to this day.
The story of a man who has the gift of a healer, witnessed by his local Priest, which in turn becomes a struggle between the Church, the State and the manipulation of the media, on whether he should be silenced or celebrated.
A moving story of ordinary people who witness something extraordinary. It is at times, chilling, eerie, nostalgic and religiously uplifting.
A simple man graced by God, as he grieves for his departed wife, his failing health and dependence on his local Priest. The Priest has his own demons, as his history and deteriorating relationship with the Bishop, becomes apparent.

Donald, a lonely young man desperate to improve his dating life, hires a manipulative pick-up artist, Charles, to teach him how to meet and attract women. Over the course of one night in London, Donald is pulled into a world of performance, pressure and control, where confidence becomes coercion and desire begins to blur with power. What began as a harmless lesson on love transforms into a night where the methods he is instructed to use to achieve his goal are far darker than he could have ever imagined.

Ken Russell's The Devils Ken Russell's The Devils

Director: Ken Russell

Year: 1971

A dramatized historical account of the rise and fall of Urbain Grandier, a 17th-century Roman Catholic priest accused of witchcraft following the supposed possessions in Loudun, France; it also focuses on Sister Jeanne des Anges, a sexually repressed nun who inadvertently incites the accusations. An enduring masterpiece of cinema, KEN RUSSELL’S THE DEVILS is a prescient epic of obsession and corruption – and a defining work of art from seminal filmmaker Ken Russell. Assembled from the original camera negative, this new 4K restoration presents Ken Russell’s definitive vision of THE DEVILS by referencing the edit he privately constructed in 2004. KEN RUSSELL’S THE DEVILS is the uncut and unfiltered theatrical experience that Russell always envisioned.
