This is a call for papers to be delivered at a 2027 academic seminar...in the description, though, a few obscure films are name-checked that completists out there in the dark (and you know who you are!) might want to investigate...

BLACK SNOW (China, 1990)
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0123450/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0_tt_8_nm_0_in_0_q_Black%20Snow%20(1990)

THE NEEDLE (Russia, 1988)
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0097561/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0_tt_8_nm_0_in_0_q_The%20Needle%20(1988)

Some of the other titles seem to be comedic in nature, which makes them less relevant to the main interests of the board, but several of them seem worthy of viewing on their own terms.
