Hi All, I'm writing from Women Make Movies, the leading nonprofit distributor of films by and about women. I thought the members of this listserv would be interested in our new releases by Ulrike Ottinger, THE KOREAN WEDDING CHEST and UNDER SNOW, both available now on DVD for the first time. Also now available is ULRIKE OTTINGER - NOMAD FROM THE LAKE, a richly rewarding close-up of the filmmaking pioneer who, along with Margarethe von Trotta and Helke Sander, helped launch New German Cinema on world screens. This intimate documentary is an indispensable companion for any Ottinger film. To celebrate these releases, WMM is offering a special promotion, if you buy 2 or more you can receive a 25% discount using promo code ULRIKELS14.* I'm including some additional info below. Please feel free to contact me with any questions, and thanks as always for supporting independent women filmmakers! THE KOREAN WEDDING CHEST http://www.wmm.com/filmcatalog/pages/c855.shtml "Ottinger's fascinating documentary... carefully locates the contemporary wedding industry at the very heart of the intersection of tradition and modernity in Korean culture." Harvard Film Archives In THE KOREAN WEDDING CHEST, director Ulrike Ottinger merges ethnography, stunning tableaux and baroque vignettes to portray love and marriage in a South Korea caught between globalization and ancient custom. Inspired by the "well-stocked miracle" of traditional wedding chests, Ottinger evokes a modern fairytale flush with mythical rites, ancestral symbolism, dreams of eternal love and an overdose of Western kitsch. A film by Ulrike Ottinger Germany/South Korea, 2008, 82 minutes, Color, DVD Institutional Price: $395.00 DVD Rental Price: $150.00 K-12, Public Libraries, Community Groups: $89.00 UNDER SNOW http://www.wmm.com/filmcatalog/pages/c856.shtml "Visually and musically evocative... A film for all who wish to take a journey to a mysterious and slow world." Asia-Pacific Weeks For more than half the year, heavy snowfall engulfs Japan's Echigo region, leading locals to develop a distinctive way of life. Ottinger invites audiences UNDER SNOW and into these curious communities where everyday routines along with traditional religious rituals, festivals, cuisine, songs and games are adapted to Echigo's austere living conditions and natural beauty.

In ULRIKE OTTINGER - NOMAD FROM THE LAKE, filmmaker Brigitte Kramer provides a keen insight into Ottinger's substantial oeuvre, beginning with their shared beloved Lake Constance hometown and weaving in a rotating cast of influential characters including art historian Katharina Sykora, film historian Ulrich Gregor, philosopher Bernd Scherer and actor Irm Hermann.
