The Hotel is delighted to present a rare 16mm projection of Stan Brakhage's magnum opus, Anticipation of the Night, "the first American film about and structured by the nature of the seeing experience".

The first in a series of events marking the publication of Athens NOW Then (co-edited by Sukhdev Sandhu and Stanley Schtinter), Close-Up is thrilled to present To the Wolf by Christina Koutsospyrou and Aran Hughes.

A follow-up to Rivers’ previous portrait of Jake, Two Years at Sea, his latest, utterly mesmerising work also stands on its own – a dreamlike meditation on nature, solitude, the power of music and one individual’s singular approach to life.

A devastating adaptation of Hayashi Fumiko's final novel, Floating Clouds match-cuts between softened memories and brutal reality, past and present, sun-kissed images of French Indochina and a post-war Japan cloaked in shadows. Floating Clouds was described in Ozu Yasujiro's diary as a "real masterpiece".

The eight episodes of this lyrical, painterly film depict a number of dreams that are vaguely intended to reflect the life and abiding obsessions of its director. In these stories of spirits, both ancient and modern, Kurosawa takes care to hint at his meanings rather than make them overtly manifest.
