that nurtured them. In the current age of wars and turmoil, this is a relevant and uplifting story of lasting traditions that are meaningful in the modern world with values that potentially can inspire us and help us transcend our global challenges. Award � Silver Palm Award, Mexico International Film Festival, 2012 Item no. : KV03720823 Format : DVD (Color) Duration : 60 minutes Copyright : 2011 Price : USD 282.00 I I DREAM DREAM OF OF OF MUMMERS MUMMERS MUMMERS By Adela Peeva I Dream of Mummers is a story about a custom, called kukeri, in which masked people dance at the end of Winter and the beginning of Spring. The custom's origins are hidden far back in the past — a tradition that has become part of the history of an entire nation. It is found in many places in Bulgaria, but here, in the village of Sushitsa, it has almost completely preserved its authenticity and can still be seen as it was performed centuries ago. For people here, this is the biggest feast of the year, and today, on its eve, the entire village is preparing for the celebration. Bells are tinkling, costumes and masks are taken out of drawers and attics. Everything looks just as it did in an old newsreel found in the National Film Archives. In 1942 — more than 60 years ago — cameras filmed the same celebration in the same village. Here the tradition is handed down from generation to generation, from father to son, and when shown this archival footage, some people in the village recognized their fathers and grandfathers. One man recognized his father and another saw his grandfather as a young man with curly mustache. This is a film about a small village and its inhabitants, about an ancient tradition that they have preserved almost intact to this day, and about a friendship as undying as the tradition itself. Awards � Ashgate Audience Film Prize, RAI International Festival of Ethnographic Film, London, 2011 � Preservation of Spiritual Heritage Award, International Festival of Ethnological Film, Serbia, 2011 � Best Bulgarian Film, International Mountain Film Festival, Bulgaria, 2011 Item no. : PH03790827 Format : DVD (Color) Duration : 27 minutes Copyright : 2011 Price : USD 252.00 JATHILAN: JATHILAN: TRANCE TRANCE AND AND AND POSSESSION POSSESSION POSSESSION IN IN JAVA JAVA By Robert Lemelson Practiced in Java for centuries, Jathilan is a folk dance that uses the power of music and dance to channel powerful and sometimes terrifying forces. Led by a spiritual guide and a whip-bearing ringleader, a group of dancers ride woven horses in rhythmic unison until they are entered by spirits. Once possessed they engage in a range of self-mortification behaviors until safely emerging from their altered state, left with no memory of the event and no lingering ill effects. The film combines footage of a number of Jathilan performances with interviews with dancers, spiritual leaders, anthropologists, and enthusiasts. This extraordinary practice becomes more than just spectacle as Jathilan is contextualized within broader processes of Indonesian historical, political and social change and the viewer is provided a window into the subjective experiences of those who participate. Multiple interpretations of Jathilan's significance ultimately emerge, from an empirical proof of spiritual presence, to a strategy of community building, to a resistant expression of folk identity. Item no. : HR03650828 Format : DVD (Color) Duration : 27 minutes Copyright : 2011 Price : USD 167.00 LOVER LOVER AND AND THE THE BELOVE BELOVED, BELOVE BELOVE D, THE: THE: A A A JOURNEY JOURNEY INTO INTO TANTRA TANTRA TANTRA By Andy Lawrence A documentary feature film about one man's journey across northern India and his search for enlightenment. Rajive McMullen, a history teacher suffering from a debilitating illness, makes the painful journey into the heart of Tantra, searching for meaning in holy shrines, coming close to death in cremation grounds and enjoying the chaos of the Aghori seekers. This film offers dramatic insight into Tantrik ideas about the life cycle, particularly death, and contributes much to our understanding of how we seek knowledge and how we die. The Lover and The Beloved also represents a realistic attempt to understand both the practice and illusive theory behind Indian Tantrism, and is intended to challenge widespread Western misinterpretations of this system of thought. Along the way we visit Kamakhya Devi in Assam and Tarapith in West Bengal, two of the most important centres of Tantrik Hinduism. Reviews � "...The Lover and the Beloved captures the atmosphere of this kind of milieu extremely well and I found it genuinely compelling viewing." - Jonathan Parry, LSE (author of Death in Banaras) � "...dazzled, moved, shaken, engaged... the evocation of a certain and wonderfully wierd India is perfect." - Lee Siegal, (Pulitzer Prize nominee and author of Net of Magic: Wonders and Deceptions in India) Item no. : WH03720829 Format : DVD (Color) Duration : 70 minutes Copyright : 2011 Price : USD 282.00 RURAL RETURN RETURN TO TO THE THE BROUCK BROUCK: BROUCK : THE THE FENLAND, FENLAND, 40 40 YEAR YEARS YEAR YEAR S ON ON By Colette Piault Forty years after the production of The Fenland (Le Brouck) comes a follow up about the Audomarois Fenland. Return to the Brouck (Retour au Brouck) Set in the natural environment of northern France, criss-crossed with water ways, market gardening as well as breeding remain the only productive activities. Nevertheless, the number of fenlanders has seriously diminished from 200 farms in the 1970 to 40 in 2010. Other elements are now intervening such as ecology, preservation and development like the Natural Regional Park and the Romelaere Natural Reserve, or leisure activities like waterfowl hunting, fishing and tourism. Through images and words Return to the Brouck expresses this new reality, confronting the actors of the past - young fenlanders of the 70s - with the present. Juxtaposing the images of the past with those of 2010. The core of the film still remains, as in the 70s, the vivid problem of the present and the future of the Audomarois Fenland and its inhabitants.

Membrane lipids, mainly phospholipids, are emphipathic, possessing both hydrophobic and hydrophilic areas that are separated from one another. Lecithin is used as an example to demonstrate the lipids' fundamental chemical structure and resultant physical properties. The diversity of membrane lipids is examined and classified. Emphipathic characteristics of the proteins are briefly considered. Item no. : JH07860051 Format : DVD Duration : 11 minutes Price : USD 165.00 BIOLOGICAL BIOLOGICAL MEMBRANES MEMBRANES: MEMBRANES : FUNDAMENT FUNDAMENTAL FUNDAMENT AL CHARACTERISTICS CHARACTERISTICS CHARACTERISTICS Discusses basic elements of any living organism, the cell and the cell membrane, as well as the membrane's functions: to assure the individuality of each cell and to enable the cells to communicate with each other and with the outside world. In order to function, passive and active transport of material and energy through the membrane must be possible. Chemical analysis of biological membranes reveals two basic building blocks, proteins and lipids.
