	 Sundance and Best First Screenplay at the Spirit Awards\, Darren Aronofky
	’s Pi set a high bar for lo-fi sci-fi on its debut in 1998. A migraine-pro
	ne mathematician (Sean Gullette) may have discovered a formula for predict
	ing the stock market or else the key for deciphering the nature of God. Wi
	th both capitalists and cabalists after him\, he also has to contend with 
	the possibility that his mathematical formula may be messing with his very
	 being. Shot on gritty\, grainy\, black and white 16mm\, Pi inaugurated a 
	wave of independent science fiction and launched one of the most polarizin
	g careers in contemporary cinema.\n\n35mm\, b&w\, 84 min. Director: Darren
	 Aronofsky. Screenwriters: Darren Aronofsky\, Sean Gullette\, Eric Watson.

	etsuo: The Iron Man\nJapan\, 1989 \n\nScience fiction and science fetish c
	ollide in Japanese writer-director Shinya Tsukamoto’s preeminent cult clas
	sic\, a body horror mashup of Cronenberg and Švankmajer\, sutured together
	 with low-budget ingenuity and nightmares. An origin story with little reg
	ard for narrative coherence\, Tetsuo: The Iron Man confronts us with the t
	ransformation of an anonymous salaryman\, after killing a metal fetishist 
	in the street\, into a surreal automata of jagged gears\, wires\, plates a
	nd circuits. As his flesh recedes\, his libidinous urges surge much to the
	 horror of his girlfriend who bears witness to his madness.\n\nDCP\, b&w\,
	 in Japanese with English subtitles\, 67 min. Director: Shinya Tsukamoto. 
	Screenwriter: Shinya Tsukamoto. With: Tomorowo Taguchi\, Kei Fujiwara\, Sh
