Martin Scorsese’s World Cinema Project No. 5

Established by Martin Scorsese in 2007, The Film Foundation’s World Cinema Project has maintained a fierce commitment to preserving and presenting masterpieces from around the globe, with a growing roster of more than sixty restorations of works by essential filmmakers. This collector’s set gathers four groundbreaking and innovative films, ranging from the epic to the intimate, from Algeria (CHRONICLE OF THE YEARS OF FIRE), Burkina Faso (YAM DAABO), India (KUMMATTY), and Kazakhstan (THE FALL OF OTRAR). Each title is a significant contribution to the art form and a window onto a cinematic tradition that international audiences previously had limited opportunities to experience.
