A bold, radiant and intelligent film from Egypt's master director,
Youssef Chahine. After the disciple of a great 12th century
philosopher is burned at the stake for heresy, his young son decides
that he will study under his father's mentor. Soon he is caught
up in a battle between the philosopher's students and religious
fundamentalists who object to their enlightenment. "...a rollicking
intellectual adventure...a colorful, dynamic celebration of the joy of
knowledge" (Sean Axmaker, Seattle Weekly). In Arabic with Youssef
Chahine---Egypt/France---1997---135 mins.

Subject: [Videolib] looking for a copy of Al-Massir (Destiny)
Can anyone suggest where I can find a Region 1 or NTSC copy of Youssef
Chahine's Al-Massir? I've checked Facets and the Arab film distributors
I know about as well as places I sometimes find used video. It was New
Yorker... Thanks for any help.

VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control, preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and related institutions. It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and distributors.
