Author: Zecharia Sitchin
Narrator: Bill Parrish

The Ultimate Human Experience. The interaction between mankind and spiritual beings-of Divine Encounters-as recorded in scriptures and ancient texts provides a powerful drama that spans Heaven and Earth, involving worship and devotion, eternity and mortality, love and sex, jealousy and murder. But how much of these are based on real happenings and how much is based on myth? With a visionary’s ardor and a scientist’s attention to detail, Zecharia Sitchin gives a stunning account of human interaction with celestial travelers. He also provides further proof that prophetic dreams, visions, UFO encounters, and other extraordinary phenomena are indeed the hallmark of intervention by intergalactic emissaries who reach out from other realms to enlighten, guide, punish, and comfort us in times of need. Sitchin’s research and theories chronicle a magnificent and inspiring journey through history, from the dawn of time to the approach of the millennium.

Free Download The Cinema of István Szabó: Visions of Europe (Directors’ Cuts) by John Cunningham
English | September 23, 2014 | ISBN: 0231171986, 0231171994 | True EPUB | 240 pages | 17.4 MB
István Szabó is one of Hungary’s most celebrated and best-known film directors, and the first Hungarian to have won an Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film, for Mephisto (1981). In a career spanning over five decades Szabó has relentlessly examined the place of the individual in European history, particularly those caught up in the turbulent events of Central Europe and his own native Hungary. His protagonists struggle to find a place for themselves, some meaning in their lives, security and a sense of being, against a background of two world wars (Colonel Redl, Confidence), the Holocaust (Sunshine), the Hungarian Uprising, and the Cold War (Father, 25 Fireman’s Street, Taking Sides).

Fairy Tale Films Visions of Ambiguity


Free Download Fairy Tale Films: Visions of Ambiguity By Greenhill, Pauline(Editor);Matrix, Sidney Eve
2010 | 232 Pages | ISBN: 0874217814 | PDF | 2 MB
In this, the first collection of essays to address the development of fairy tale film as a genre, Pauline Greenhill and Sidney Eve Matrix stress, "the mirror of fairy-tale film reflects not so much what its audience members actually are but how they see themselves and their potential to develop (or, likewise, to regress)." As Jack Zipes says further in the foreword, "Folk and fairy tales pervade our lives constantly through television soap operas and commercials, in comic books and cartoons, in school plays and storytelling performances, in our superstitions and prayers for miracles, and in our dreams and daydreams. The artistic re-creations of fairy-tale Descriptions and characters in film-the parodies, the aesthetic experimentation, and the mixing of genres to engender new insights into art and life-mirror possibilities of estranging ourselves from designated roles, along with the conventional patterns of the classical tales."Here, scholars from film, folklore, and cultural studies move discussion beyond the well-known Disney movies to the many other filmic adaptations of fairy tales and to the widespread use of fairy tale tropes, themes, and motifs in cinema.

Laura Wexler presents an incisive analysis of how the first American female photojournalists contributed to a "domestic vision" that reinforced the imperialism and racism of turn-of-the-century America. These women photographers, white and middle class, constructed images of war disguised as peace through a mechanism Wexler calls the "averted eye," which had its origins in the private domain of family photography.
