Product Description

Product Description

SYNOPSIS: Founded in 2007 and overseen by Martin Scorsese, the World Cinema Foundation (WCF) has spearheaded efforts to preserve, restore, and annually re - present neglected masterpieces of world cinema, particularly those from areas of the globe that have not traditionally been highlighted in prevailing evaluations of film, or which have lacked the financial, technical, or governmental infrastructure to ensure their preservation.

As the WCF's mission statement announces: ''Cinema is an international language, an international art, but, above all, it is a source of enlightenment. There are wonderful, remarkable films, past and present, from Mexico, Eastern Europe, the Middle East, Latin America, and Central Asia that deserve to be known and seen. Composed of filmmakers from every continent, the World Cinema Foundation breathes life into the idea that when a cultural patrimony is lost, no matter how small or supposedly ' marginal ' the country might be, we are all poorer for it.''

The Masters of Cinema Series is proud to present the WCF's restorations of masterpieces from -

  • Turkey (Erksan's Dry Summer)
  • Morocco (El Maanouni's Trances)
  • Kazakhstan (Shinarbaev's Revenge)
(Each film features an exclusive introduction by Martin Scorsese)

SPECIAL FEATURES:
  • Glorious new restorations of three neglected masterworks of world cinema, all presented in 1080p HD, with progressive encodes on the DVD's
  • Optional English subtitles on each film
  • Exclusive video introductions to each film by Martin Scorsese
  • 80-PAGE BOOK featuring writing by Phil Coldiron on Dry Summer, by Bilge Ebiri on Trances, and by Kent Jones on Revenge, alongside rare archival imagery


'' The World Cinema Foundation is a natural expansion of my love for movies. [ In 1990], together with my fellow filmmakers, we created the Film Foundation to help preserve American cinema. Much has been accomplished and much work remains to be done, but the Film Foundation has created a base upon which we can build. There is now, I believe, a film preservation consciousness. The World Cinema Foundation [ was] created to help developing countries preserve their cinematic treasures. We want to help strengthen and support the work of international archives, and provide a resource for those countries lacking the archival and technical facilities to do the work themselves. '' - Martin Scorsese, WCF Founder and Chairman

Format: Blu-ray
Wow. Just watched 'Dry Summer' and it blew me away! It's quite a simple tale but has an amazing intensity. The super charged performances have a magnetic pull and ferocious energy. The camera work is brilliant, and there are some very inventive shots at particularly explosive moments. I definitely want to see more films by this director. I watched the Masters of Cinema blu ray of this film and the picture quality is superb.
