The exotic world of expatriate American writer Paul Bowles (THE SHELTERING SKY), artistic colleague of Beat poets and writers such as Jack Kerouac and William S. Burroughs, is brought to the screen in this beautifully photographed anthology based on three of his short stories. Bowles introduces each story and narrates the first, “Merkala Beach,” about the grim friendship between two youths, one a drunkard and the other a pothead. In “Call at Corazon,” a newlywed couple journey up the Amazon, which sorely tests their already shaky marriage. “Allal” is the tale of a Moroccan boy who merges his soul with that of a cobra. Each haunting, enigmatic tale captures the essence of Bowles’ vision of humanity and his love of strange, colorful locales. Special features include a companion CD featuring music composed by Bowles and readings of his works by the author.

{BEST FEATURE FILM, Audience Award– 2002 Amiens Film Festival}
{UN CERTAIN REGARD– 2002 Cannes Film Festival}
{SATYAJIT RAY AWARD– 2002 London Film Festival}

The first full-length feature film by Yamina Bachir evokes memories of the worst atrocities of the terror in Algeria. RACHIDA is a moving story about a community – and especially the courageous women in it – under the threat of terror. It’s a world where there is little escape from terrorism, where you can be kidnapped, raped, or shot in any moment.

The young Rachida is teaching at a school in Algiers, when she is stopped in the street by a group of youths who demand she take a bomb and place it in the school. When Rachida refuses, she is cold-bloodedly shot and left for dead. Richida miraculously survives this attack, and to recover, she hides with her mother in a village far from the city. In spite of her endless fear, Rachida starts to feel whole again when she begins to teach and make new friends. Sadly, violence is unavoidable there too, and she and the other villagers must bravely continue to find small signs of hope among the endless despair.

How Islamic civilization tamed Western Europe

“Inspiring” –The Observer (U.K.)

Join British historian Bettany Hughes as she examines a long-buried chapter of European history–the rise and fall of Islamic culture in what is now Spain and Portugal. Although generations of Spanish rulers have tried to expunge this era from the historical record, recent archaeology and scholarship now shed fresh light on the Moors who flourished in Al-Andalus for more than 700 years.

This fascinating two-part documentary explodes old stereotypes and offers shocking new insights. You’ll discover the ingenious mathematics behind Granada’s dazzling Alhambra Palace, trace El Cid’s lineage to his Moorish roots, and learn how the Iberian population willingly converted to Islam in droves.

Through interviews with noted scholars, you’ll see how Moorish advances in mathematics, astronomy, art, and agriculture helped propel the West out of the Dark Ages and into the Renaissance. What emerges is a richly detailed portrait of a sensuous, inquisitive, and remarkably progressive Islamic culture in Christian Europe.
