1927 Metropolis is a landmark German Expressionist silent film directed by Fritz Lang, set in a futuristic city divided between a wealthy elite and an oppressed working class. It's a pioneering science-fiction epic known for its stunning visuals, groundbreaking special effects, and themes of class struggle, technology, and humanity's future, influencing countless films with its iconic Art Deco cityscapes and the "machine-woman" robot. The story follows Freder, the son of the city's master, as he falls for the worker-prophet Maria, leading to a revolution and a conflict between the "head," "hands," and "heart" of the city.

1926 A Page of Madness is a landmark Japanese silent horror film by Teinosuke Kinugasa, known for its avant-garde, surrealist style and experimental techniques like rapid montage and double exposures to depict insanity. Thought lost for decades, a print was rediscovered in 1971, revealing a hallucinatory story about a janitor in a mental asylum trying to save his wife, with the narrative blurring the lines between reality and fantasy. It was a product of the Japanese "School of New Perceptions" (Shinkankakuha) and is notable for lacking intertitles, relying instead on its powerful visuals and a now-lost benshi (narrator) for its original screenings.
