Movie Synopsis:

Fred Beckey is the original American "Dirtbag" climber whose name evokes mystery, adulation and vitriol.

Movie Synopsis:

Taking its title from the expression Longa Noite de Pedra ("long night of stone"), which was coined by the poet Celso E. Ferreiro to describe the lengthy period of dictatorship after the Spanish Civil War, the third feature by Galician filmmaker Eloy Enciso explores the Postguerra mood and the texture of life in Franco-era Spain by way of unconventional portraiture, the power of words, and stunning atmospheric immersion. Working with non-actors and a script sourced from excerpts of plays, memoirs, and letters from political prisoners, Enciso portrays a variety of characters - both victors and vanquished - as they negotiate a newly reordered society. At the film's shifting center is Anxo (Misha Bies Golas), who returns home to his unnamed village in the years following the war, his interactions with individuals wielding varying levels of power serving to cast the cruelty of the modern world into stark relief. As he moves through the town, and eventually into the surrounding arboreal landscape, the already muted mood turns towards the mournful as the film approaches its quietly grand finale. Following in the materialist tradition of Straub-Huillet and Pedro Costa, Enciso continues to explore themes that preoccupied him in his earlier work: the human presence in the landscape (specifically, the forest as a container of popular history), the cultural and geographic specificity of Galicia, the search for musicality in language, and the intertwining of history, fact, and fiction. Proceeding dreamily through its elliptical, day-to-night structure, Longa noite is a nocturne of ferocity and resistance, a strange and stirring indictment of fascism that employs beautifully cryptic methods to combat oblivion.

Movie Synopsis:

Aloko Udapadi is an Epic Film of the unswerving human effort, to record for all time, a unique spiritual heritage. In 89 BC, King Walagamba of Sinhala kingdom (present day Sri lanka), was troubled by power-hungry forces from within and from outside, which compelled him to abandon throne and flee with a hope of returning back to power. A severe drought and a subsequent famine assailed the land for twelve unbroken years. Buddhist Monks who perpetuated Lord Buddha's word by oral tradition, could not survive the harsh conditions. The monks were troubled both by the enemy and the famine. In these dark days, the loyal subjects protected their King. Enemy leaders killed each other for power and wealth. Well armed, the King dealt a deadly blow and regained the rule and brought back the freedom the natives lost. In peace and prosperity, the monks facing the challenge wrote down the oral tradition. The Buddha's compassionate teaching became an irreducible component of the whole of.
