- Death in the City. by Ghosh, Balaka,film director.; Ronin Films (Firm),dst; Kanopy (Firm),dst;
Originally produced by Ronin Films in 2022.The sacred city of Varanasi, situated on the holy Ganges, ‘the river of life’, is the revered destination for death for Hindus since time immemorial. With legendary funeral pyres burning non-stop for over three millennia on the river bank, the city’s status is founded on the belief that dying in Varanasi breaks the repeated cycle of rebirth. Filmed across four years, 2018 - 2021, DEATH IN THE CITY is an intimate portrayal of ‘The City of Life and Death’, the myriad communities who live and work in its ancient streets; including those waiting to die or those working with the dead, along with rare access to the death-worshipping Aghori Saints. This is a film in three movements: the spiritual, the metaphysical and the experiential. The most pressured crematorium in the world, Varanasi’s relationship with death is at the same time auspicious, spiritual, and industrial.Mode of access: World Wide Web.- Subjects: Documentary films.; Social sciences.; Philosophy and religion.; Anthropology.; Asians.; Foreign study.; Documentary films.; Ethnicity.;

- Tonight, and Tomorrow Morning. by Hochmuth, Dietmar,film director.; Schorn, Christine,actor.; Spitzer, Jan,actor.; Hoppe, Rolf,actor.; DEFA Film Library (Firm),dst; Kanopy (Firm),dst;
Christine Schorn, Jan Spitzer, Rolf HoppeOriginally produced by DEFA Film Library in 1979.Friday evening: A busy week is over for a dentist in her mid-30s. Feeling an intense desire to break the cycle of her monotonous everyday life, she takes her time and takes detours to experience an evening in the streets of East Berlin. She is affected by what she discovers in other people’s lives so far removed from her own. Finally, she goes home and enjoys the happiness of being expected by her husband and son. The next morning, she savors a lazy Saturday with her husband. Based on two short stories by award-winning author Helga Schubert.Unexpectedly, the beautifully shot film in stark black-and-white was rejected by officials because it only showed the old parts of the East German capital repleted with gray, crumbling facades. Although the filmmaker followed the request to edit parts of the film, it experienced a very limited release. After the Berlin Wall came down in 1989 and drastic changes in the cinema landscape, the only existing 35mm print and the original negative disappeared, and the film was considered lost. Decades later, in 2015, the director discovered a print in the archive of the Soviet film academy VGIK, Moscow, where he had made this picture as a graduation film.TONIGHT, AND TOMORROW MORNING was director Dietmar Hochmuth’s graduation film that he produced at the DEFA Studio for Feature Films made for East German television and on behalf of the USSR State All-Union Institute of Cinematography (VGIK), where he studied from 1973 to 1979.Mode of access: World Wide Web.- Subjects: Feature films.; Foreign films.; Motion pictures.; Drama.; Motion Pictures.; Motion pictures--Germany.; Motion pictures--Europe.;
