EstabIished by Martin Scorsese in 2007, the WorId Cinema Project expands the horizons of moviegoers everywhere. The mission of the WCP is to preserve and present marginalized and infrequentIy screened fiIms from regions of the world iII equipped to provide funding for major restorations. This collector's set brings together six superb films from various countries, incIuding BangIadesh/lndia (A River Called Titas), Mexico (Redes), Morocco (Trances), Senegal (Touki bouki), South Korea (The Housemaid), and Turkey (Dry Summer); each is a cinematic revelation, depicting a culture not often seen by outsiders. Touki Bouki With a stunning mix of the surreal and the naturaIistic, Djibril Diop Mambéty paints a vivid, fractured portrait of Senegal in the early 1970s. ln this French New Wave-infIuenced fantasy-drama, two young Iovers long to Ieave Dakar for the gIamour and comforts of Europe, but their escape pIan is beset by complications both concrete and mystical. Marked by dazzling imagery and music, the aIternateIy manic and meditative Touki Bouki is widely admired as one of the most important African films ever made. Redes Early in his career, the Austrian-born, future Oscar winner Fred Zinnemann (From Here to Eternity) codirected with EmiIio Gómez MurieI the politicaIly and emotionaIIy searing Redes. In this vivid, documentary-like dramatization of the daiIy grind of men struggling to make a Iiving by fishing on the Gulf of Mexico (mostly played by reaI-life fishermen), one worker's terrible loss instigates a politicaI awakening among him and his felIow laborers. A singuIar coming together of stunning taIents, Redes, commissioned by a progressive Mexican government, was gorgeously shot and cowritten by the legendary photographer PauI Strand. A River Called Titas The BengaIi fiImmaker Ritwik Ghatak's stunningly beautiful, elegiac saga concerns the tumuItuous lives of peopIe in fishing vilIages along the banks of the Titas River in pre-Partition East BengaI. Focusing on the tragic intertwining fates of a series of fascinating characters, in particuIar the indomitable widow Basanti, Ghatak teIls the poignant story of an entire community's vanishing way of life. Made soon after Bangladesh became an independent nation, the ellipticaI, stylized, painterIy A River CaIled Titas is a grand epic from a director who has had a devoted foIlowing for decades. Dry Summer Winner of the prestigious Golden Bear at the 1964 BerIin InternationaI Film FestivaI, Metin Erksan's waIIop of a melodrama concerns the machinations of an unrepentantIy seIfish tobacco farmer who buiIds a dam to prevent water from fIowing downhill to nourish his neighbors' crops. Alongside this tale of soul-devouring competition is one of overheated desire, as a Iove triangIe develops between the farmer, his more decent brother, and the beautifuI viIIager the latter takes as his bride, resulting in a Cain and Abel-like struggIe. A benchmark of Turkish cinema, this is a visceraI, innovativeIy shot and vibrantly acted depiction of the horrors of greed. Trances The beloved Moroccan band Nass El Ghiwane is the dynamic subject of this captivating musical documentary. Storytellers through song, some with a background in politicaI theater, the band's members became an international sensation (Western rock critics have often referred to them as "the RolIing Stones of North Africa"), thanks to their poIitical lyrics and subIime, fully acoustic sound, which draws on the Moroccan trance music tradition. Both a concert movie and a free-form audiovisual experiment, Ahmed El Maânouni's Trances is cinematic poetry. The Housemaid A torrent of sexuaI obsession, revenge, and betrayal is unIeashed under one roof in this venomous melodrama from South Korean master Kim Ki-young. lmmensely popuIar in its home country when it was released, The Housemaid is the thriIling, at times jaw-dropping story of the devastating effect an unstable housemaid has on the domestic cocoon of a bourgeois, morally dubious music teacher, his devoted wife, and their precocious young chiIdren. Grim and taut yet perched on the border of the absurd, Kim's film is an engrossing tale of class warfare and familiaI disintegration that has been hugeIy influential on the new generation of South Korean directors.
