ARROW FILMS RELEASES SAMSARA IN THE UK & IRELAND
ON 7TH SEPTEMBER 2012
Samsara
is the sensational follow-up to the multi- award-winning Baraka – from
acclaimed film-makers Ron Fricke and Mark Magidson
Arrow Films announce their plan to release SAMSARA across cinema screens in the UK and Ireland on 7th September 2012. SAMSARA is the next cinematic masterpiece since the filmmakers’ cult success with BARAKA and CHRONOS. Director and Cinematographer Ron Fricke and Producer Mark Magidson join forces again to bring us another unforgettable cinematic experience. Using the finest in cutting edge cinematography, SAMSARA
develops the themes of interconnection and transcendence - illuminating
links between humanity and the rest of nature and showing how our life
cycle mirrors the rhythms of the planet, on an epic scale.
Filmed over a four-year period in twenty-five countries across five continents, SAMSARA
transports us via stunning Panavision Super 70 cinematography to the
varied worlds of sacred grounds, disaster zones, industrial complexes,
and natural wonders. By dispensing with dialogue and descriptive text, SAMSARA
subverts our expectations of a traditional documentary. It encourages
our own interpretations, inspired by breathtaking images that infuse the
ancient with the modern and set against a mesmerizing musical score
featuring the work of Lisa Gerrard, Michael Stearns and Marcello De
Francisci.
Premiering at the Toronto Film Festival 2011 to great success and awarded Best Documentary at this year's Jameson Dublin International Film Festival 2012, SAMSARA will be screened in the highest definition 4K digital projection across the UK and Ireland from 7th September. A series of events to celebrate the follow up to the cult classic BARAKA will be announced in the lead up to SAMSARA’s release.
Alex Agran, Director of Arrow Films said: “We are absolutely thrilled to be releasing this epic film by Ron Fricke and Mark Magidson in the UK and Ireland. Samsara
is a true prestige title for us to release and it’s an honour to bring
such sensational cutting edge cinema to the UK audience, and we are sure
that Samsara will blow audiences away in the same way Baraka did on release in 1992. We have some very exciting plans to celebrate the release of Samsara and a 20th Anniversary release of Baraka that will mark these films as the most talked about films of 2012.”
Mark Magidson, Producer of Samsara stated "We are thrilled to have the support of Arrow Films for the UK/Eire release of Samsara.
After close to 5 years in production it's great to have a partner that
brings a depth of understanding and a high level of enthusiasm to this
special film."
