For all of you swords collector and practitionners, here is a movie that might interest all of you.

This is the first of its kind documentary. This film is all about European and Asian historic swordplay. On top of that it will offer a in-depth look at the fascinating world of stage combat on the silver screen.

 

 

Here is the official description of the movie:

“The Medieval and Renaissance blade, a profound and beautiful object handcrafted by master artisans of old. An object of great complexity, yet one with a singular use in mind- it is designed to kill. The truth of the sword has been shrouded in antiquity, and the Renaissance martial arts that brought it to being are long forgotten. The ancient practitioners lent us all they knew through their manuscripts. As gunslingers of the Renaissance they were western heroes with swords, and they lived and died by them. Yet today their history remains cloaked under a shadow of legend.”
