My second offering for Sattvic Movie Saturday is one of my very very very favorite movies of all time! |
| Annette Hanshaw |
Nina Paley's storytelling and animation are each marvels in themselves.
Together, they are a masterpiece of spectacular beauty and humor; an uplifting and intelligent commentary on life, The Ramayana and the timeless affairs of the heart.
Perhaps most amazing is Nina's free distribution of this film, insisting that copyrights are actually an impediment to artists.
She cites the case of Annette Hanshaw, whose stardom has faded into relative obscurity thanks to the companies who own the rights to distribute her songs, but feel no obligation to.
I hope you will enjoy it as much as I do. Click here! Ya gotta watch it full screen!!!
And share it with others - lots of them! Nina wants you to.
I also highly recommend this presentation at the University of Baltimore by Nina Paley on her work, her inspiration, and copyrights. Click here to watch it full screen on YouTube.
"That's all!" ;-D
