A celebration of the forces of the natural world, with pagan dates too. A fine new art calendar from Flame Tree.
A modern religion rooted in Pagan tradition, Wicca is also a way of life. Valuing natural cycles and celebrating positive transformation, it represents a diverse and dynamic belief system that generally focuses on understanding, worshipping and harnessing the forces of the natural world.
This bewitching calendar celebrates photography and quotes from practices associated with this life-affirming culture. The datepad features previous and next month’s views, and now also includes key Wiccan festivals and planetary movements in addition to mainstream secular and religious events.
The book traces common concerns among East Asian cinemas of Hong
Kong, Japan, South Korea, the PRC, and Taiwan, and goes beyond the
now familiar notion that the Asian metropolises are successful
iterations of local identity within a global network.
The rise of independent cinema in Southeast Asia, following the
emergence of a new generation of filmmakers there, is among the
most significant recent developments in global cinema. The advent
of affordable and easy access to digital technology has empowered
startling new voices from a part of the world rarely heard or seen
in international film circles. The appearance of fresh, sharply
alternative, and often very personal voices has had a tremendous
impact on local film production. This book documents these
developments as a genuine outcome of the democratization and
liberalization of film production. Contributions from respected
scholars, interviews with filmmakers, personal accounts and primary
sources by important directors and screenwriters collectively
provide readers with a lively account of dynamic film developments
in Southeast Asia.
Interviewees include Lav Diaz, Amir Muhammad, Apichatpong
Weerasethakul, Eric Khoo, Nia Dinata and others.

style known as Swedish Modern that has made Svenskt Tenn
