Synopsis: Prepare yourself for an unparalleled sensory experience. Samsara
reunites director Ron Fricke and producer Mark Magidson, whose
award-winning films Baraka and Chronos were acclaimed for combining
visual and musical artistry. Samsara is a Sanskrit word that means "the
ever turning wheel of life" and is the point of departure for the
filmmakers as they search for the elusive current of interconnection
that runs through our lives. Filmed over a period of almost five years
and in twenty-five
countries, Samsara
transports us to sacred grounds, disaster zones, industrial sites, and
natural wonders. By dispensing with dialogue and descriptive text,
Samsara subverts our expectations of a traditional documentary, instead
encouraging our own inner interpretations inspired by images and music
that infuses the ancient with the modern. -- (Written by Oscilloscope Pictures)
