How many of you remember the "lousy" film division segments that used to be forced on un-suspecting viewers in cinema halls in the good-old days ??? , God - I hated them when I was kid, but now I seem to crave them.

And in mindless browsing look what I found

http://www.filmsdivision.org/home.htm

Of course this is not for everyone - but just to get your cinematic appetite wet, they carry the ULTRA rare documentary on Satyajit Ray by Shyam Benegal . It’s free to view/download.

I also think they accept orders and will ship out a VHS . When in India I am going to grab as many as possible, till then online viewing has to suffice I guess.

Enjoy and post any interesting movies/documentary you guys find.

I think this is an awesome find ( ** pat on my back ** )

The link i gave above

Should take you to a page which will list both Real Player version and Media Player version. I dont think the Media Player version works ( did not work for me ) but you can def play it via Real Player ( 128 kbs) . I dont know how to download it but i have seen people smart enough to figure out a way to do it - perhaps someone on ZULM can point us on how-to :?: :idea:

Hitchcock is a BIG guy ( an entire studio is named after him !) , i doubt we will see any such efforts for Shyam Benegal , that said BFI ( British Film Institute ) seems to love him ( so many interviews /articles/books on him) that i am pretty sure we will see some BFI DVDs with some/all of his restored works ( maybe even criterion will pinch in :roll: )
