DESCRIPTION:
|
For our one year anniversary of the Friday Night Video/Potlucks, join us for "Baraka" (1992, 93 min):
6 continents and 24 countries provide spectacular Todd AO-70mm footage of the balance between nature and man. Baraka is an ancient Sufi word, which can be translated as "a blessing, or as the breath, or essence of life from which the evolutionary process unfolds." For many people Baraka is the definitive film in this style (Ron Fricke also did Koyaanisqatsi) . Breathtaking shots from around the world show the beauty and destruction of nature and man. Coupled with an incredible soundtrack including music from Michael Stern, Dead Can Dance and Monks of the Dip Tse Chok Ling Monastery.
Also coming in April: Zapatista film night and Bicycle Power night! Stay tuned
