Looking back on 2025, The Cathedral of New Emotions was our first release of the year. We have been delighted to see so many people discovering this surreal, psychedelic delight of animation from Helmut Herbst!

Alraune features Paul Wegener of Golem fame and Brigitte Helm as a mandrake woman; basically reprising her role as Evil Maria from Metropolis. Student of Prague is a Faustian tale starring Conrad Veidt.
