“Film is 24 lies per second at the service of truth”

From winter into spring, we’re embarking on an extensive retrospective of celebrated Austrian auteur Michael Haneke’s cinema of discomfort.

Spanning several decades, Haneke’s chilling, austere yet deeply human work dares to look where most would rather not; exploring societal malaise, social alienation and our relationship with advancing technology while exposing the collective complicity, guilt and privilege that underpin modern living.

Featuring all twelve of his features, plus the TV movie The Castle and two-part series Lemmings, this series offers a rare chance to sit with one of the most shocking, thought-provoking and tremendously moving voices in contemporary cinema.
