Lauded by critics as film of the year, Manakamana is a stunningly original and breathtaking cinematic experience. The film follows pilgrims as they make an ancient journey by cable car to worship high above a jungle in Nepal and makes its home entertainment debut on DVD and VOD courtesy of Dogwoof on 9 February 2015.

The Hindu Manakamana Temple is almost a mile above sea level, instead of a lengthy journey on foot, worshippers can now take a 10-minute cable car journey up in to the mountains to pray at this sacred place. Using a 16mm camera co-directors Stephanie Spray and Pacho Velez join a varied mix of subjects on their pilgrimage. 

The scenery is mesmerising, as are the characters - a diverse mix of commuters - from a group of old women discussing how much things have changed, a group of young men taking selfies, an elderly man and his grandson, a mother and daughter eating ice-creams, a married couple and their chicken and a herd of goats. Every shot follows a different set of passengers as we learn about them and their lives.

Arrow Films, the distributors of Gods Pocket, The Hunt, A Hijacking and Love Is All You Need, are pleased to announce the release of the critically acclaimed Stations of the Cross, which will be available on demand & digital and on Blu-ray & DVD from 19th January 2015.

14 year old Maria (Lea Van Acken) is a member of a strict branch of Catholicism that rejects all the reforms that were made in the Church since the 1960s. Maria lives her everyday life in the modern world, yet yearns to follow Jesus fully, to become a saint and go to heaven. Christian, a boy she meets at school, almost draws Maria away from her goal with an invite to join the school’s gospel choir, but her strictly pious mother (Franziska Weiz) pulls her back in line, seeing his tentative approaches as a temptation to sin, along with participating in what she sees as the ‘Devils music’.

Told in fourteen individual tableaus that parallel Christ’s journey to his crucifixion, Stations of the Cross is both an indictment of fundamentalist faith and the articulation of an impressionable teen’s struggle to find her own path in life.

Blutengel “Sing.” Sensual, enticing, sexy – on the monumental dark-Pop-single “Sing,” Blutengel lure the listener into mesmerizing worlds of erotically-tinged mysticism.

“Sing!” When sacred choirs tingle the skin, gripping tribal rhythms stir up the blood, Chris Pohl's soothingly deep voice sings alluring accounts of the dark sides of love and lust and Blutengel's miniature epic climaxes in a gigantically anthemic chorus, there is no way resisting this maelstrom of seduction and sweet melancholy. On the new single, the Berlin-based hit-wonder plays to all his strengths and takes the listener into a sensual world of atmospheric Gothic-elements, powerful electronic sounds and darkly-tinged Art-Pop. “Sing” is exciting, sinister and new, while still retaining the trademark Blutengel-feeling – a bittersweet appetizer for new album “Omen”, due for release in February. The MCD contains the title song plus two exclusive remixes (including an alchemusical interpretation from Meinhard, who will be supporting Blutengel on his “Omen”-tour in the Spring of 2015) and the new song “Starkeeper” in an exclusive single edit. This is Gothic Pop!
