52Sial IV 1968
Sial IV is a Swiss television miniseries by Greek filmmaker and writer Adonis Kyrou, adapted from the speculative fiction novel Deadly Image (AKA The Uncertain Midnight) by British author Edmund Cooper. It tells the story of Denis Lange (Henri Gilabert), a fallout shelter engineer who is accidentally trapped in suspended animation as war breaks out in 1970, only to awaken in the early 2100s in Sial IV, an underground city in which humankind lives a life of leisure, having discharged all responsibility to androids. Assigned the android Diana as his personal assistant, Denis ventures through this unsettling idyll, eventually finding a small but tenacious group of resistors who seek to uncover the truth about the compound and its ruler, the mysterious Machiavelli.
23The 5th Horseman 2018
After a police raid turns into a bloodbath, the corpses of pontifical Swiss guards are found in a basement. As evidence is being discretely disposed of, a night watchman sets the world on the path to hell. Four spectral horsemen start leaving a trail of terror and destruction in their wake. The horsemen of the apocalypse metaphor is a way for the creators to invite the audience to think about the necessity of a paradigm shift. In this story, the media, such as the radio and television, never speak of ghost-like monsters but focus instead on insane politicians and almighty bankers – in other words, demons of the collective imagination for the modern world.
