Swift through the air, as Ráma chose,
The wondrous car from earth arose.
And decked with swans and silver wings
Bore through the clouds its freight of kings.

A journey of the soul – beautiful, haunting, and mystical.

Samsara is a Sanskrit word that means “the ever turning wheel of life.” Filmed over nearly five years in twenty-five countries on five continents, Samsara transform viewers through powerful images pristinely photographed in 70mm and a dynamic music score. The film illuminates the links between humanity and the rest of the nature, showing how our life cycle mirrors the rhythm of the planet.

Expanding on the themes developed in Baraka (1992) and Chronos (1985), Samsara explores the wonders of our world from the mundane to the miraculous, looking into the unfathomable reaches of man’s spirituality and the human experience. Neither a traditional documentary nor a travelogue, Samsara takes the form of a nonverbal, guided meditation.

Baraka (1992)

Director: Ron Fricke
Producer: Mark Magidson
Genre: Documentary / World Cinema
Country: United States
Language: English / EN subtitles / None

Baraka is an ancient Sufi word, which can be translated as “a blessing, or as the breath, or essence of life from which the evolutionary process unfolds.”

Baraka has no plot, no storyline, no actors, no dialogue nor any voice-over. Instead, the film uses themes to present new steps and evoke emotion through pure cinema. Baraka is a kaleidoscopic, global compilation of both natural events and by fate, life and activities of humanity on Earth.
