Andrzej Żuławski’s 1988 sci-fi epic follows a group of wayward astronauts who attempt to rebuild society on a new planet after fleeing Earth. As the generations progress, a video diary sent by one of the concerned founders makes its way back home, prompting the arrival of a scientist on the planet whom the inhabitants regard as a messiah. Premiering at the Cannes Film Festival nearly a decade after filming began, ON THE SILVER GLOBE is considered one of the most challenging and visionary productions of Żuławski’s career. From Andrzej Zulawski (POSSESSION) comes one of the most astonishing visual spectacles of all time, a mystical sci-fi parable of space messiahs and tribal warfare on a faraway planet. A recent 4K restoration.

A pre-show of weird and wonderful Polish animation begins at 7 pm.

ON THE SILVER GLOBE is playing May 9 at 7 pm and May 11 at 8 pm. Select the date at checkout when you buy tickets.
