Man Ray made his first 2 minutes and 51 seconds long film Le Retour à la raison the day before its première at the dadaist event Le Cœur à barbe, which took place in Paris on 6 July 1923. To celebrate the hundredth anniversary, Jim Jarmusch and Carter Logan, founding members of Sqürl, created an improvised musical accompaniment for this and three other works by the American artist. The restored films, combined into a 70-minute programme entitled Return to Reason, were premièred this year in the Cannes Classics section.

Third World is more than just a documentary about Haustor, the legendary Zagreb band that left its mark on the former Yugoslavia’s music scene. It is the story of two creative opposites: Darko Rundek and Srđan Sacher. Through candid conversations, a studio reunion, and a wealth of archival material, the film reveals how the two artists’ sensitivity to the magic of everyday life once united their creative worlds – creating a third.
