Mysteries of Freemasonry



Add caption

In times of incertainty it is wise to have some guaranties of those who knock at the west gate. There is no reason to make the standard masonic enquiries in the old way when so much information is available. I find this documentary interesting. It is edited by A&E HOME VIDEO and counts with a bunch of actors to lead us in the visit to the Order "mysteries". Everybody knows that there are not such spectacular mysteries as usually is speculated; this seems a good point to start. It is available in Amazon or through your usual distributor. Actors: Stephen Bullock, Dan Burstein, Akram Elias, Brent Morris, David Shugarts. Year of publication: 2009.

Another movie about Freemasonry

Cuando Marta, una joven catedrática, descubre que su padre perteneció a la Masonería, decide embarcarse en un viaje iniciático para conocer los símbolos y misterios que esconden ciudades tan bellas como Roma, Estambul, París, Madrid, Bilbao y Barcelona. Su investigación le llevará a entender la estrecha relación de Gaudí con los masones, la vida interna de las Logias, su concepto de las mujeres, los ritos ancestrales que practican y la persistencia de estas sociedades secretas en la actualidad.
Los debates sobre la existencia de sociedades secretas en la sociedad contemporánea sigue dando mucho que hablar, sobre todo en lo que a la Masonería se refiere. El realizador Santiago Lapeira lo sabe, y por eso ha querido acceder de primera mano a las historias que giran en torno a ella. "Masones. los hijos de la viuda" es un documental ficcionado que desvela al espectador los lugares ligados tradicionalmente a la Masonería, así como los símbolos que perviven en el arte y la cultura. La película habla de masones españoles, franceses o italianos, intentando quitarle yerro a la versión conspirativa que han propagado algunos libros. Rodada en ciudades europeas como París, Roma, o Estambul, "Masones. los hijos de la viuda" es, en palabras de su director, la primera cinta que se acerca realmente a la Masonería, entra en sus Logias y hace visibles a algunos de sus miembros. En el metraje intervienen, entre otros, Mafer Blanco, Kepa Atxa, Marisa Duaso, Elena Cruz y Belén Zaba. Sobre la persistencia real de este tipo de sociedades, Lapeira es claro: existen en el más absoluto secretismo.

Brothers War" Comes to DVD May 26, 2009
MTI Video will distribute Almighty Dog's unique WWII drama this Spring.

Los Angeles, CA, May 10, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Hollywood, California Action-Adventure. Mysticism. History. These exciting elements continue to enthrall movie lovers as evidenced by the popularity of mystic thrillers such as The Da Vinci Code and fact-based action war dramas like Defiance.Now one more film will take its place among the genre: Brother's War, an unusual WW2 saga that blends action, adventure and mysticism will make its debut on DVD on May 26th. Joining the ranks of distinctive WWII films released this past year, Brother's War tells the story of two officers, one German and the other British, who discover that they share a common bond in Freemasonry, empowering them to work together to prevent the USSR from taking over Eastern Europe. MTI Video will handle distribution for the film which is directed by Jerry Buteyn (The Doers of Coming Deeds) and stars writer/producer Tino Struckmann, Michael Berryman (The Hills Have Eyes) and European action star Olivier Gruner.
Inspired by actual events, the film is set in the final days of the war on the Eastern front as Soviet and Allied armies battled their way into a defeated Germany. A British officer attached to the Red Army uncovers secrets that could destroy the allies' unity and find himself imprisoned by Stalin's brutish intelligence service. In the camp, he meets a German officer and the two discover they share a sacred bond - they are both members of the Freemasons, a fraternal society based on honor, oath and secrets. After escaping from the camp with idealistic young nurse Anna, they find themselves pursued by both sides because of the enormous import of the secrets they now are entrusted with.
Struckmann and co-writer Warren Lewis (Black Rain, The 13th Warrior) didn't want to make just another standard war movie - they were determined to show the real events that unfolded in war-torn Poland in a way not previously seen on screen. An intense commitment to accuracy resulted in the use of more than seven different types of Russian, German and U.S. WWII vehicles including tanks, jeeps and trucks. Great attention was paid to historical details by a highly experienced group of technical advisors to the cast, which included over 80 "special ability" extras trained in weapons handling and stunts.Another unique feature of the film is the use of the Red Rock M2 cinema lens system that adds depth to the visual effects via High Definition cameras using 35 mm cinema lenses. This gives Brother's War the look of film but with all the advantages of HD; additionally the sound was digitally captured direct to a hard drive providing unparalleled audio clarity. The film features an impressive score from veteran composer Christopher Ward (Pearl Harbor, Speed).

Brother's War

Based on the real life events of the massacre of the polish government in the closing days of World War 2, the movive Brothers War follows two men, joined by a common Masonic background. They are bound by oath and honor to get word of the massacre through the Russian and German lines to the allied high command.
The story is set in the latter days of World War 2, against the backdrop of fierce combat on the eastern front. The western Allies push into Germany and the Red Army is fights its way towards Berlin. Churchill is worried about Russia’s post-war plans for Europe but most not endanger the increasingly threatened alliance between the west and Russian. A British military attached to the Red Army discovers a Russian war crime against the Polish government in exile and is seized by Stalin’s feared intelligence service. He finds unexpected help from an enemy and fellow prisoner, a German Captain. They discover a common bond in freemasonry and are bound by honor, oath and secrets. They are joined by Anna, a beautiful Polish nurse cast adrift on the tides of war. The three are pursued by a ruthless Russian commander through Germany caring a secret that can change the outcome of the world and the fate of millions.

Brother’s War was produced with strict attention to historic accuracy and military detail and portrays the horrors and heroism of desperate battles. The film also opens the door into the ancient order of the freemasons and presents unmatched insight on the real histories of these men, brothers all, who have fought in every war for hundreds of years.
