         Cabinet of Dr Caligari, The         Don't Sleep There Are Snakes         Les Enfants Du Paradis

Cabinet of Dr Caligari, The

Synopsis:
Franzis Gruber, a lowly bureaucrat, lives a neat and ordered life in a sleepy, provincial German town. When a travelling fair arrives, full of clowns, freaks, magicians and sleepwalkers, it drags Franzis into a series of nightmarish murders  spinning dreams into reality, the imagined into truth and order into chaos.

Notes:
by Dudley Hinton and Sebastian Armesto with simple8. the Cabinet of Dr. Caligari is one of the most influential films of all time: a box office smash in 1920, it came to define cinematic expressionism and inspire Film Noir. Torn from the screen, simple8 transforms the film into a fast, frenzied fairground sideshow with a "pungently evocative and blackly amusing master-class in the art of poor theatre" - Time Out.

Don't Sleep There Are Snakes

Synopsis:
Piraha [(n) pira'ha] a remote Amazonian tribe with a language no outsider has ever understood. Daniel Everett, a linguist and missionary, is sent into the jungle with a clear purpose: to learn their language and convert them to Christianity. But as he struggles to communicate, he uncovers a culture like nothing he's ever imagined. What he discovers blows apart modern linguistic theory, forcing him to question his faith and his understanding of what it means to be human.

Notes:
by Dudley Hinton and Sebastian Armesto with simple8. Based on the true story and book by Daniel Everett
