A brand new cassette with all three of our films with Huston Smith. When we first began to work with Smith, he was known mainly to intellectuals as the man who wrote a great book on world religions. Over the years that book, World's Religions: A Guide to Our Wisdom Traditions, has grown in populatirity and been issued in a beautiful new volume, fully illustrated, and Smith himself has starred in the Bill Moyers series, THE WISDOM OF FAITH. Because of his increasing popularity, we can offer all three films as a set for $59.95, or individually for $29.95 each.
REQUIEM FOR A FAITH -- This classic film tells the story of Tibetan Buddhism, alive today in a remote Indian refugee camp. Dr. Huston Smith's Poetic narration guides us through a world of ancient rituals, continuous meditation, deep compassion, and a profound faith in the divinity of man.
ISLAMIC MYSTICISM: THE SUFI WAY -- Dr. Huston Smith narrates this in-depth
study of Islam and its mystical core, Sufism. Shot on location from India
to Morocco, this award-winner covers Muslim rituals, the teachings of the
Koran, whirling dervishes of Turkey, and the Sufi way to God.
(Although much of this film was shot in India, those who wish may substitute
our long-term best-seller, HINDUISM AND THE SONG OF GOD.) (see description
below)
INDIA AND THE INFINITE -- a trip through India and her many religions.
(see description below)
Don't forget our long-time best-seller, Hinduism and the Song of God.
"The Hartley's have produced their finest
work to date... images which are quintessential expressions of the spirit
of India... satisfying as both an educational and esthetic experience."

The Hartley Film Foundation has taken one small
step toward interaction by developing a video cassette that teaches about
Hinduism and Buddhism. From our large library on the world's religions we
have extracted sequences on the main ideas in Hinduism and Buddhism. And
we have gone further than that - after each sequence there are graphics
with multiple answer questions so that the student can immediately discover
how much he has learned.
We showed this video at the Parliament of World Religions '93 with positive feedback and tested it with a number of schools in this area. It is a good foundation for those who have a limited background in comparative religion.
$29.95 includes public performance
Sai Baba, man of miracles, and life in his Indian ashram.
This film tells the story of Sai Baba, a revered Indian spiritual teacher
who is sometimes called "the man of miracles" by his devotees.
Shot in his ashram in South India, it shows the many roles Sai Baba plays
- teacher, healer, confidant, "superstar". We learn about the
people he has healed; the schools, hospitals and universities he has inspired;
and the essence of his spiritual teaching "One of the best videos
I've seen... newcomers are always very impressed with it."
E. Howarth, President, SAI BABA CENTER, St. Petersburg, FL
You should buy this video and study it carefully. It could change

Dr. Smith teams up with us again to produce this picture
of an India of paradoxes and extremes... her many religions - images gathered
from Kashmir to Benares, from Bombay to Bangalore, combine with the poetry
of Professor Smith's words to produce a visual essay of lingering beauty.
"The film is a poem, suggesting more than it re-veals... recommended
without reserve."

Bali, the one island in Islamic Indonesia that
is Hindu. This influence has produced a culture of extraordinary beauty
and fascinating art.
"... well-suited to introductory courses in sociology as well as to
courses in sociology of religion... quality of narration is singularly excellent...
from a production standpoint, this is an exceptionally fine piece of work.
Photography, music, and narration are combined in a manner which conveys
understanding while imparting esthetic appreciation for another culture.
Films of this quality are seldom available to the classroom audience."
