Corbin on Film and YouTube!

The Eranos Foundation has posted a short trailer for the Film Eranos - 1951 at their website here. The film was directed by Willy Roelli, with script by Ximena de Angulo-Roelli and Willy Roelli and produced by the C.G. Jung Institute of Los Angeles. Henry Corbin appears on the path about 40 seconds into the trailer, shakes hands, turns to the viewer's right and goes down the stairs.


And many sincere thanks to Farshid Kazemi for sending this fascinating YouTube link for a ten-minute video of Henry Corbin narrating a film about Zoorkhaneh, the traditional Persian martial art and gymnastic exercise. (Photos as still practiced in Isfahan.) It is a delight to see and hear Corbin speak. I hope that someone with a better ear for French than I will translate the narration for us.
The photos of traditional zoorkhaneh below are by Antoin Sevruguin, whose photos of 19th century Iran can be accessed here.
