Synopsis:
Simon Magus (1999): A magical tale from a vanished world...

Simon is an outcast from his Jewish community because he claims that the devil talks to him and he has the ability to put curses on crops. When Dovid asks the `Squire` to sell him some land so he can build a railway station, a ruthless businessman from the neighbouring gentile community uses Simon to find out who wants to buy the land so he can `persuade` him otherwise.

The Nine Lives Of Tomas Katz (2000): London stands on the brink; a solar eclipse is going to darken the skies and madness begins to emerge in the populace. The odd Tomas Katz rises from the sewer and it soon becomes obvious that he is at the centre of the chaos to come. The only hope lies in a blind police commander, who is deeply connected with the spirit world...

An intensely strange, surreal and funny series of scenes in which the absurdity of the modern world is shown to be unnervingly accurate...
