Item no. : VM07860267 Format : DVD Duration : 19 minutes Price : USD 230.00 OUR OUR NEWSPAPER NEWSPAPER Directed by Eline Flipse After journalist Andrey Schkolni leaves his job at The Leninist, the state-supported – and state-censored – regional paper in Uljanovsk, Russia, he and his wife, Marina, decide to start their own newspaper. The couple takes on local apathy, isolationism, criticism, and ridicule; they are determined to serve the local population, located over 550 miles from Moscow in a largely rural, often snowbound area. Week after week, everything from writing and researching the articles to designing the layout takes place in their small home. They even work to distribute the paper – which they name Our Newspaper – with their tiny family car. Slowly Andrey's doggedly reported local news and Marina's horoscopes and home remedies begin to catch on. When Our Newspaper's circulation and size climbs to 7,000 weekly readers and eight pages, it begins to pose real competition to the four-page Leninist. Finally, the isolated population can read their own news: instead of "articles" about far-off cities, golden harvests, and unrealizable state projects, Our Newspaper reports on an impoverished village without running water for three months and profiles a courageous local doctor who makes house calls her bicycle despite freezing temperatures. Andrey and Marina's light-hearted local ________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Learning Rendezvous Limited Email: inquiry@learningemall.com Websites: http://www.learningemall.com & http://www.learningemall.com.hk 139
news gathering quickly gathers gravity, however … until it eventually puts its creators in danger. The issues facing the once prosperous but now economically depressed region are very serious. Despite his best efforts to protect himself and his wife, Andrey's reporting begins to implicate corrupt local corporations and political officials and raise thorny questions of journalistic and business ethics. Juxtaposing small, personal stories against the background of contemporary Russian history, OUR NEWSPAPER creates a portrait of personal integrity and bravery under increasingly desperate circumstances. The award-winning Dutch director Eline Flipse (Broken Silence, Albanian Stories) paints subtle portraits of her film's powerful personalities with warmth, humor and complexity that will stay with you long after the film ends; it is an unforgettable illustration of modern Russia and the vital role of journalism in an emerging democracy. Reviews � "Highly Recommended…In addition to discussing the challenges of "Our Newspaper," the documentary conveys the isolation and remoteness of the place—frozen both metaphorically in Soviet time and literally in Russia's far north. It is a window into Russian provincial life in the 21st century—such a contrast to the wealthy cosmopolitan centers of Moscow and St. Petersburg." - Educational Media Reviews Online � "Constructing a road through a rural village or a new bike for a district nurse could save lives, Flipse knows how to evoke these scenes with stunning images." - Pieter Waterdrinker, De Telegraaf � "The editing and score wonderfully compliment the overarchring theme of storytelling." - Canculture Award �� Winner, Best Mid-length Documentary, 2011 HotDocs Item no. : RA03400841 Format : DVD (Color) Duration : 58 minutes Copyright : 2011 Price : USD 348.00 STONEY STONEY KNOWS KNOWS HOW HOW Stoney Knows How is a visit with a master of the Oldest Art In The World - Tattooing.

The film ends with a visit by New Age tattoo master Don Ed Hardy to Stoney, who gives him a souvenir tattoo.

Item no. : GA07860402 Format : DVD Duration : 14 minutes Price : USD 300.00 TREE TREE TREE OF OF KNOWLEDGE, KNOWLEDGE, TTHE TT HE Set in Huehuetla, Puebla, a Totonac Indian community in East Central Mexico, The Tree of Knowledge contrasts two systems of education. The public school system uses patriotic symbols to "integrate" Indian pupils into the national culture while teaching them to reject their own identity. In contrast, the Danza de los Huehues urges young Totonacs to learn from the mestizos ("whites"), yet warns them not to abandon their own culture. But there is also a deeper, older level to the ritual: it is not the mestizos, but the living spirits of trees, who are the real spirits of the Danza, and who teach the Totonacs how to live in harmony with nature. That is where the Dance began...

Item no. : MA07860443 Format : DVD Duration : 33 minutes Price : USD 245.00 YAABA YAABA SOORE: SOORE: PATH PATH PATH OF OF THE THE THE ANCESTORS ANCESTORS Both Yaaba Soore: Path of the Ancestors and Dance of the Spirits explain the meaning of African masks. During a 17 - year period Christopher Roy traveled through Burkina Faso, West Africa, observing funerals, initiations, market day dances, and village purification ceremonies. He learned the vital importance of these masked performances in the daily life of African peoples. Only after years of study was Roy able to gain permission to film the actual ceremonies of the masks for the first time and fully explain the meaning of these art objects. From this rare footage Roy created two unique programs for the world. Yaaba Soore: Path of the Ancestors, ideal for instruction of junior and senior high students, provides interpretations of the mask performances that make the objects we see displayed in American museums more meaningful. The emphasis is on the performance and the successful impersonation of the character of the spirit represented by the mask.
