Samsara Premiere Newsletter

Last updated by Darren on 05 October 2011

Hello Everyone

Welcome to another newsletter.  

This newsletter is a little different to most.  In September, I, and a few other people, saw Samsara at the World Premiere showing in Toronto.  It was a fantastic day, and it's a fantastic film.

For those people that like Baraka, I'm very sure you will like Samsara.  It's core values are the same.  It is a masterclass in fine film making, it presents jaw dropping images of people and scenery from around the world.  All set to an amazing soundtrack.

You can read my review of Samsara, and see some pictures here : http://www.spiritofbaraka.com/samsara

You can also read about my visit to Toronto for the premiere here : http://www.spiritofbaraka.com/my-visit-to-toronto-for-the-premier-of-sam...

A lot of people are curious when Samsara will play at other theatres, and when it will be available on DVD and Blu Ray.Read more >>>

Spirit of Baraka newsletter – December 2005.

Last updated by Darren on 03 July 2009

This is the first newsletter we have sent in a while. There have been many
updates to the web site recently, including the addition of several new films.

Dogora is a new film that shows the people of Cambodia . It is beautifully
shot, and comparable in many ways to Baraka and Koyaanisqatsi. I highly
recommend it. It is currently only available from France , but is worth making
the effort to get. You can view images from Dogora and find links to buy Dogora
on the web site using the link below.

Winged Migration is set for a DVD re-release in the US and Canada . There is no
obvious change to the previous release, other than a new cover and a cheaper
price!
