Description
"Established by Martin Scorsese in 2007, The Film Foundation's World Cinema Project has maintained a fierce commitment to preserving and presenting masterpieces from around the globe, with a growing roster of dozens of restorations that have introduced moviegoers to often overlooked areas of cinema history. This collector's set gathers six important works, from Angola (Sambizanga), Argentina (Prisioneros de la tierra), Iran (Chess of the Wind), Cameroon (Muna moto), Hungary (Two Girls on the Street), and India (Kalpana). Each title is an essential contribution to the art form and a window onto a filmmaking tradition that international audiences previously had limited opportunities to experience."--Publisher.
Description
Sambizanga:,"Chronicles the awakening of Angola's independence movement ... follows a young woman as she makes her way from the outskirts of Luanda toward the city's center, looking for her husband after his arrest by the Portuguese authorities--an incident that will ultimately help to ignite a national uprising."--Container.
Description
Prisioneros de la tierra:,"Desperate men are entrapped into indentured labor on a jungle yerba maté plantation..."--Container.
Description
Chess of the wind:,"A hypnotically stylized murder mystery awash in period atmosphere, Chess of the wind plays out inside a candlelit mansion, where a web of greed, violence, and betrayal ensnares potential heirs as they vie over their matriarch's estate."--Container.
Description
Muna moto:,"In a Cameroonian village, the rigid customs governing courtship and marriage mean that a betrothed couple, though deeply in love, can be torn apart by the lack of a dowry and another man's claiming of the young woman--a rupture that sets the stage for a clash between a patriarchal society and a modern generation."--Container.
Description
Two girls on the street:,"Two upwardly mobile working women--one a musician in an all-female band, the other a bricklayer--join forces in their attempts to make it in Budapest, supporting each other through changing fortunes, the advances of lecherous men, and the highs and heartbreaks of love."--Container.
Description
Kalpana:,"Unfolding as an epic film within a film, Kalpana tells the story of a dancer (the director himself) who is determined to open a cultural center and breathe new life into India's traditional artistic forms."--Container.
