Israel American Medical Centre Israel American Medical Centre

Director: Keren Amiran

Year: 2006

Designed as a hospital for well-off patients, the Israel American Medical Center has been going up in Tel Aviv since 1968, but it has never been finished. The architect who designed this building is invited to re-visit his unfinished work and venture into what were to have been huge emergency wards, splendid private rooms for patients and well-equipped physicians' surgeries. The abrasive contrast between desire and reality and between expectations and frustrations is present in this film.

A sleepwalking Emma comes face to face with a mysterious entity 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.
