| Summary: | As a child in India, Cyrus Sundar Singh was mesmerized by the hand-painted posters and hoardings he saw all around, advertising everything from the latest movies to the gods themselves. In their beauty and intensity, they seemed to encapsulate India's abiding spirituality. As India evolves into a twenty-first century economic powerhouse, many traditions and practices are beginning to fade away. Increasingly, the handmade works that Cyrus once loved are disappearing, replaced by mechanically produced posters and signs. But does computer-created imagery have a soul? In this documentary, Cyrus looks at a vanishing art form - and the spiritual values that are vanishing with it. (University of Toronto Libraries) |

Harry is assisted by Jack (Patrick Garrow), a macho and homophobic sound technician. Harry's drama follows the adventures of Marion (Diane Carlson), a shy and dowdy writer who gets her first break when she is offered a contract to write a story in three days. Confronted with the opportunity and the deadline, she experiences writer's block. Borrowing a tape recorder from a friend, Marion begins seeking inspiration from the conversations of strangers, and weaves a tale about murder and intrigue in the art world. Gradually, she finds herself being sucked into a fictional world of beautiful people with exotic circumstances, while the line between fantasy and reality becomes increasingly blurred. As Jack watches Harry in the recording booth, his initial contempt turns to curiosity and then respect. A cautious friendship develops between the two men, revealing that they are not as different as it may have seemed at first. (www.oneira.com) |
