A personal journey through the history of Iranian popular cinema before the revolution and the world of “filmfarsi,” a term referring to the rowdy and melodramatic genre films made from the early 1950s to 1979. FILMFARSI provides a fascinating archaeology of what The Guardian calls “the biggest secret in cinema history” — a compelling window into a lost past. This documentary uncovers a cinema of titillation, action, and big emotions that presented a troubling mirror for Iran as it struggled to reconcile religious traditions with the turbulence of modernity and influences of the West. Four years in the making, FILMFARSI features clips from more than 100 films, almost all banned in their country of production.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Unobstructed View","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41153634664648,"sku":"GF40078","price":39.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0598\/8486\/3688\/products\/filmfarsi.jpg?v=1634955094"},{"product_id":"aba-blu-scorse010-cc318","title":"Martin Scorsese's World Cinema Project: Volume 3 (BLU-RAY\/DVD Combo)","description":"\u003cp\u003eEstablished 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 more than three dozen restorations that have introduced movie lovers to often-overlooked areas of cinema history. Presenting passionate stories of revolution, identity, agency, forgiveness, and exclusion, this collector’s set gathers six of those important works, from Brazil (Pixote), Cuba (Lucía), Indonesia (After the Curfew), Iran (Downpour), Mauritania (Soleil Ô), and Mexico (Dos monjes).

In 1895, Lucía is a tragic noblewoman who inadvertently betrays her country for love. In 1932, she is a member of the bourgeoisie drawn into the workers’ uprising against the dictator. And in the post-revolutionary 1960s, she is a rural newlywed struggling against patriarchal oppression. Shot in an array of distinct, evocative visual styles, Solás’s sprawling triptych is a vital document of radical progress.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAfter the Curfew\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGiving voice to the anguish of a nation fighting for its soul, Usmar Ismail’s After the Curfew follows the descent into disillusionment of a former freedom fighter who is unable to readjust to civilian life following the revolution that gave Indonesia its independence from the Netherlands.

Soleil Ô follows a starry-eyed immigrant as he leaves West Africa and journeys to Paris in search of a job, a community, and intellectual engagement—but soon discovers a hostile society where his very presence engenders fear and resentment.

Based on a true story, Sambizanga follows a young woman (Elisa Andrade) as she makes her way from the outskirts of Luanda toward the city’s center looking for her husband (Domingos Oliveira) after his arrest by the Portuguese authorities—an incident that ultimately helps to ignite an uprising. Scored by the language of revolution and the spiritual songs of the colonized Angolan people, and featuring a cast of nonprofessional actors—many of whom were themselves involved in anticolonial resistance—this landmark work of political cinema honors the essential roles of women, as well as the hardships they endure, in the global struggle for liberation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePRISIONEROS DE LA TIERRA\u003cbr\u003eThe most acclaimed film by one of classic Argentine cinema’s foremost directors, Mario Soffici’s gut-punching work of social realism, shot on location in the dense, sweltering jungle of the Misiones region, simmers with rage against the oppression of workers. A group of desperate men are conscripted into indentured labor on a treacherous, disease-ridden yerba maté plantation under the control of the brutal foreman Köhner (Francisco Petrone)—a situation that boils over in an explosive act of rebellion led by the defiant Podeley (Ángel Magaña), and made all the more tense by the fact that Köhner and Podeley love the same woman: Andrea (Elisa Galvé), the sweet-spirited daughter of the camp’s doctor. The expressionistic, shadow-sculpted cinematography of Pablo Tabernero evokes the feverish dread of a place where suffocating heat, economic exploitation, and unremitting cruelty lead inexorably to madness and violence.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHESS OF THE WIND\u003cbr\u003eScreened publicly only a few times in 1976 and then lost for decades, this rediscovered jewel of Iranian cinema reemerges to take its place as one of the most singular and astonishing works of the country’s prerevolutionary New Wave. A hypnotically stylized murder mystery awash in shivery period atmosphere, Chess of the Wind unfolds inside an ornate, candlelit mansion where a web of greed, violence, and betrayal ensnares the potential heirs to a family fortune as they vie for control of their recently deceased matriarch’s estate. Melding the influences of European modernism, gothic horror, and classical Persian art, director Mohammad Reza Aslani crafts an exquisitely restrained mood piece that erupts into a subversive final act in which class conventions, gender roles, and even time itself are upended with shocking ferocity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMUNA MOTO\u003cbr\u003eDirector Dikongué-Pipa forged a new African cinematic language with Muna moto, a delicate love story with profound emotional resonance. In a close-knit village in Cameroon, the rigid customs governing courtship and marriage mean that a deeply in love betrothed couple (David Endéné and Arlette Din Belle) can be torn apart by the lack of a dowry and by another man’s claiming of the young woman as his own wife—a rupture that sets the stage for a clash between a patriarchal society and a modern generation’s determination to chart its own course. Luminous black-and-white cinematography and stylistic flourishes yield images of haunting power in this potent depiction, told via flashback, of the challenges of postcolonialism and the devastating consequences of a community’s refusal to deviate from tradition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTWO GIRLS ON THE STREET\u003cbr\u003eThe maverick Hollywood stylist André de Toth sharpened his craft in his native Hungary, where he directed five films, including this chic, dynamically paced melodrama studded with deco decor and jazzy musical interludes. Mária Tasnádi Fekete and Bella Bordy sparkle as upwardly mobile working women—one a musician in an all-girl band, the other a bricklayer—who join forces as they both try to make it in Budapest, supporting each other through changing economic fortunes, the advances of lecherous men, and the highs and heartbreaks of love. Kinetic camera work, brisk editing, and avant-garde imagery abound in Two Girls on the Street, an often strikingly modern ode to the power of working-class female solidarity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKALPANA\u003cbr\u003eA riot of ecstatic imagery, performance, and set design, the only film by the visionary dancer and choreographer Uday Shankar is a revolutionary celebration of Indian dance in its myriad varieties and a utopian vision of cultural renewal. Unfolding as an epic film within a film, Kalpana tells the story of an ambitious dancer (Shankar) determined to open a cultural center devoted to breathing new life into India’s traditional artistic forms; meanwhile, the obvious adoration between him and his lead dancer (Shankar’s wife and collaborator, Amala Uday Shankar) arouses the jealousy of his enterprising companion (Lakshmi Kanta). Swirling surrealist dance spectacles—featuring dance masters and young performers, many of whom would become stars in their own right—are interwoven with anticolonial, anticapitalist commentary for a radical, proto-Bollywood milestone that is one of the most influential works in Indian cinema.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 class=\"header_lvl2 hideSmall\"\u003eSPECIAL FEATURES\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew 4K digital restorations of\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eSambizanga, Prisioneros de la tierra, Chess of the Wind,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003eand\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eMuna moto,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003eand 2K digital restorations of\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eTwo Girls on the Street\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003eand\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eKalpana,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003eall overseen by The Film Foundation’s World Cinema Project in collaboration with the Cineteca di Bologna, with uncompressed monaural soundtracks on the Blu-rays\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew introductions to the films by World Cinema Project founder Martin Scorsese\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew and archival interviews featuring Indian film historian Suresh Chabria and filmmaker Kumar Shahani (on\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eKalpana\u003c\/em\u003e); Argentine film historians Paula Félix-Didier and Andrés Levinson (on\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003ePrisioneros de la tierra\u003c\/em\u003e);\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eTwo Girls on the Street\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003edirector André de Toth; and\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eSambizanga\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003edirector Sarah Maldoror and Annouchka de Andrade, Maldoror’s daughter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew program by filmmaker Mohamed Challouf featuring interviews with\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eMuna moto\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003edirector Dikongué-Pipa and African film historian Férid Boughedir\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eThe Majnoun and the Wind\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e(2022), a documentary by Gita Aslani Shahrestani, daughter of\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eChess of the Wind\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003edirector Mohammad Reza Aslani, featuring Aslani, members of the film’s cast and crew, and others\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew and updated English subtitle translations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePLUS: A foreword and essays on the films by critics and scholars Yasmina Price, Matthew Karush, Ehsan Khoshbakht, Aboubakar Sanogo, Chris Fujiwara, and Shai Heredia\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eCovers by Century.Studio\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Unobstructed View","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42022574096584,"sku":"CC3396BDDVD","price":165.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0598\/8486\/3688\/products\/martinscorsesesworldcinema4.jpg?v=1656629508"},{"product_id":"24-frames-blu-ray","title":"24 Frames (BLU-RAY)","description":"\u003cp\u003eFor what would prove to be his final film, Iranian director Abbas Kiarostami gave himself a challenge: to create a dialogue between his work as a filmmaker and his work as a photographer, bridging the two art forms to which he had dedicated his life.

Hussein (Hossain Emadeddin, a real-life pizza delivery man who has schizophrenia) is a lumbering war veteran swollen by cortisone (for war-induced pain) and reduced to delivering pizzas at night. Through his nightly rounds, he bears witness to the rewards and vanities of the city's wealthy. He is humiliated when a jewelry shop owner won't allow him in his store, and under pressure to get married, Hussein awkwardly aspires to higher ground. When an eccentric socialite gives him a taste of luxury, Hussein can no longer accept his lowly status.
