Lil Dagover

Pedestrian -- Pedestrian follows an older man as he comes back from his weekly trip to the market. It is quickly evident that he has a unique perspective of the world around him; one that almost gets him into trouble. Through his encounters with other members of the human race, we find that maybe we all should be a little more like him. Written and Directed by Ken Hirose Story by Ken Hirose Edited by Jay O.

This film is a plunge into the mind of insanity that severs all ties with the rational world as a demented doctor and a carnival sleepwalker perpetuate a series of murders in a small community.

The film that forged the dark, ominous cinematic movement known as German Expressionism--and influenced vanguard filmmakers for generations--regains its original, electrifying authority in this definitive presentation. Werner Krauss stars as a deranged hypnotist who spreads death through the countryside from a ramshackle traveling carnival. Before the naive eyes of the townspeople, he unveils the contents of his coffin-like cabinet: Cesare (Conrad Veidt), a spidery sleepwalker who obeys his every command. But at night, once the crowds have dispersed, Caligari lifts the lid on darker intentions, unleashing the dreadful Cesare to act upon his master's murderous whims and carnal desires. Director Robert Wiene and his designers combined techniques of painting, theatre and film to conjure a nightmare world of splintered reality, boldly creating a visual representation of insanity.

(1961)Joachim Fuchsberger, Brigitte Grothum. A girl is almost murdered, but no explainable motive can be found until a 20 year old murder is uncovered and linked to the case. From 16mm.
