UNMISTAKEN CHILD
A film by Nati Baratz.

A visually stunning, spellbinding spiritual journey to a word rarely seen by outsiders. The Buddhist concept of reincarnation, while both mysterious and enchanting, is hard for most Westerners to grasp. UNMISTAKEN CHILD follows the 4-year search for the reincarnation of lama Konchog, a world renowned Tibetan master who passed away in 2001 at age 84. the Dalai Lama charges the deceased monk’s devoted disciple, Tenzin Zopa (who had been in his services since the age of seven), to search for master’s reincarnation- a child who maybe anywhere in the world. Tenzin sets off on foot, mule and even helicopter, through breathtaking landscapes and remote traditional Tibetan Villages. He listens to stories about children with special characteristics, performs rituals and rarely seen tests designed to determine the likelihood of reincarnation, and eventually presents his chosen one to the Dalai Lama, who will make the final decision.

“Its privileged glimpse, deep into unfamiliar spiritual territory, has the strength to revelation.”
-Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times

“The beauty of the landscape and the  monk’s sweetness, humility, and god humour evoke a plane of existence, at once elevated and austere, that is humbling to comtemplate.”
-Stephen Holden, New York Times

“A story of faith and hope, courage and sacrifice, joy and despair, full of deeply affecting moments and images.”
-Tom Maurstad, Dallas Morning News

BROTHER SUN, SISTER MOON
A film by Franco Zeffirelli.

The film focuses on the early years of Francis of Assisi, who sought communion with the natural world by renouncing his family’s riches to seek his own destiny unencumbered by material possessions. Francis was, in a sense, history’s first “drop out”: he left a life of comfort to seek a spiritual union with the world Brother Sun; Sister Moon is an uncommonly rewarding and meaningful film experience.

RUMI: POET OF THE HEART
A film by Hayden Reiss.

This beautifully crafted one-hour documentary tells Rumi's surprising story--a story that includes tolerance, the suspicious disappearance of a friend, history about the Persian Empire, the founding of the Whirling Dervishes, and how Rumi celebrated the sacred in everyday existence.
