The reality of Buddhism is revealed in a way that is unprecedented, in the spontaneity of the questions asked, as well as with the sensitive understanding of a child\u2019s point of view and with no proselytisation at all.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-2 fusion_builder_column_1_3 1_3 fusion-flex-column thisbff-film-sb\" style=\"--awb-padding-top:50px;--awb-padding-left:30px;--awb-padding-top-small:30px;--awb-padding-left-small:0px;--awb-bg-size:cover;--awb-border-color:#e2e2e2;--awb-border-left:1px;--awb-border-style:solid;--awb-width-large:33.333333333333%;--awb-margin-top-large:0px;--awb-spacing-right-large:5.76%;--awb-margin-bottom-large:20px;--awb-spacing-left-large:5.76%;--awb-width-medium:33.333333333333%;--awb-order-medium:0;--awb-spacing-right-medium:5.76%;--awb-spacing-left-medium:5.76%;--awb-width-small:100%;--awb-order-small:0;--awb-spacing-right-small:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-small:1.92%;\" data-scroll-devices=\"small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-column-has-shadow fusion-flex-justify-content-flex-start fusion-content-layout-column\"><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-7\" style=\"--awb-font-size:80%;\"><h3>Tue 26 Sep | 6.50pm<\/h3>\n<\/div><div ><a class=\"fusion-button button-flat button-large button-default fusion-button-default button-2 fusion-button-span-yes fusion-button-default-type\" style=\"--button_margin-bottom:15px;\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/sistic.com.sg\/events\/bff0923h\"><span class=\"fusion-button-text awb-button__text awb-button__text--default\">Buy Tickets<\/span><\/a><\/div><div class=\"fusion-separator fusion-full-width-sep\" style=\"align-self: center;margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;margin-top:15px;width:100%;\"><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-8\"><p><strong>Single Cinema Ticket: $15<\/strong><br \/>\n<small><em>Prices exclude SISTIC booking fees<\/em><\/small><\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-9\"><p><small>** This film will be screened together with <a href=\"https:\/\/thisfilmfest.com\/2023\/films\/waking-up-2050\/\">WAKING UP 2050<\/a><\/small><\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-separator fusion-full-width-sep\" style=\"align-self: center;margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;margin-top:40px;width:100%;\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-fullwidth fullwidth-box fusion-builder-row-3 fusion-flex-container nonhundred-percent-fullwidth non-hundred-percent-height-scrolling\" style=\"--awb-border-sizes-top:1px;--awb-border-sizes-bottom:1px;--awb-border-radius-top-left:0px;--awb-border-radius-top-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-left:0px;--awb-padding-top:40px;--awb-padding-bottom:20px;--awb-margin-top:40px;--awb-margin-bottom:40px;--awb-flex-wrap:wrap;\" ><div class=\"fusion-builder-row fusion-row fusion-flex-align-items-flex-start fusion-flex-content-wrap\" style=\"max-width:1248px;margin-left: calc(-4% \/ 2 );margin-right: calc(-4% \/ 2 );\"><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-3 fusion_builder_column_3_5 3_5 fusion-flex-column\" style=\"--awb-bg-size:cover;--awb-width-large:60%;--awb-margin-top-large:0px;--awb-spacing-right-large:3.2%;--awb-margin-bottom-large:20px;--awb-spacing-left-large:3.2%;--awb-width-medium:60%;--awb-order-medium:0;--awb-spacing-right-medium:3.2%;--awb-spacing-left-medium:3.2%;--awb-width-small:100%;--awb-order-small:0;--awb-spacing-right-small:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-small:1.92%;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-column-has-shadow fusion-flex-justify-content-flex-start fusion-content-layout-column\"><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-10\"><h3>DIRECTOR\u2019S BIO<\/h3>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-image-element \" style=\"--awb-margin-bottom:25px;--awb-max-width:120px;--awb-caption-title-font-family:var(--h2_typography-font-family);--awb-caption-title-font-weight:var(--h2_typography-font-weight);--awb-caption-title-font-style:var(--h2_typography-font-style);--awb-caption-title-size:var(--h2_typography-font-size);--awb-caption-title-transform:var(--h2_typography-text-transform);--awb-caption-title-line-height:var(--h2_typography-line-height);--awb-caption-title-letter-spacing:var(--h2_typography-letter-spacing);\"><span class=\" fusion-imageframe imageframe-none imageframe-1 hover-type-none\" style=\"border-radius:50%;\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" alt=\"GY\u00dcT\u00d6 -

At the age of 18, Filipa Cardoso left her roots to go to France to study dance. She travelled the world as a dancer and discovered a passion for photography. When she moved to Brussels, she developed her passion for images by making her first films, initially devoted to the world of theatre, dance and music, then by co-directing documentaries, notably on the filmmaker Satyajit Ray in India.<\/p>\n<p>Since then, Filipa Cardoso has been constantly broadening her experience, working on all the stages of filmmaking, from shooting to final editing.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-4 fusion_builder_column_2_5 2_5 fusion-flex-column\" style=\"--awb-bg-size:cover;--awb-width-large:40%;--awb-margin-top-large:0px;--awb-spacing-right-large:4.8%;--awb-margin-bottom-large:20px;--awb-spacing-left-large:4.8%;--awb-width-medium:40%;--awb-order-medium:0;--awb-spacing-right-medium:4.8%;--awb-spacing-left-medium:4.8%;--awb-width-small:100%;--awb-order-small:0;--awb-spacing-right-small:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-small:1.92%;\" data-scroll-devices=\"small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-column-has-shadow fusion-flex-justify-content-flex-start fusion-content-layout-column\"><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-12\"><h3>DIRECTOR\u2019S STATEMENT<\/h3>\n<p>In today\u2019s world, learning techniques that imply slow maturation and transformation, are unheard of. Convinced that we have no time, we live henceforth by proxy, identifying ourselves to dreamed-up lives and in a rush to fulfill our desires at once. With this film, I wanted to slow time down for the duration of an experience in total immersion in GY\u00dcT\u00d6, where the monks seem to \u2018hasten\u2019 slowly. Wanting to observe, at the source, their very particular way of life, between tradition and modernity, the monastery is also a big university for the development of rigorous intellect, and they live there, their spirituality in phase with the world today.<\/p>\n<p>I allow myself to wander about with nothing holding me back, as much by distraction as by curiosity, swept by this red tide of men. People, objects that I encounter, irrupt before me on this journey; a journey, which is that of a wanderer. Wandering isn\u2019t just any form of laziness or aimlessness; it is both carefreeness and attention, abandonment and alertness. My approach follows this kind of method and calls for the same vision.<\/p>\n<p>The halts in my steps open up to momentary allurements to a story or a tale. Nothing more than the capture of a fleeting moment, the wish to hold on to what\u2019s already vanishing, to demonstrate my assent to all that occurs, to all that simply is. As a woman director walking around in this masculine world, never did I feel at any moment unease or unrest, as if the issue of gender didn\u2019t have its place here, because we were present there solely as beings. And I want to reach the viewers in their condition as human beings.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-fullwidth fullwidth-box fusion-builder-row-4 fusion-flex-container nonhundred-percent-fullwidth non-hundred-percent-height-scrolling\" style=\"--awb-border-radius-top-left:0px;--awb-border-radius-top-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-left:0px;--awb-flex-wrap:wrap;\" ><div class=\"fusion-builder-row fusion-row fusion-flex-align-items-flex-start fusion-flex-content-wrap\" style=\"max-width:1248px;margin-left: calc(-4% \/ 2 );margin-right: calc(-4% \/ 2 );\"><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-5 fusion_builder_column_1_1 1_1 fusion-flex-column\" style=\"--awb-bg-size:cover;--awb-width-large:100%;--awb-margin-top-large:0px;--awb-spacing-right-large:1.92%;--awb-margin-bottom-large:20px;--awb-spacing-left-large:1.92%;--awb-width-medium:100%;--awb-order-medium:0;--awb-spacing-right-medium:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-medium:1.92%;--awb-width-small:100%;--awb-order-small:0;--awb-spacing-right-small:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-small:1.92%;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-column-has-shadow fusion-flex-justify-content-flex-start fusion-content-layout-column\"><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-13\"><h4>PRINT SOURCE<\/h4>\n<p>Filipa Cardoso<br \/>\n<a href=\"mailto:filipabe@gmail.com\">filipabe@gmail.com<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-fullwidth fullwidth-box fusion-builder-row-5 fusion-flex-container thisbff-dgrey-box nonhundred-percent-fullwidth non-hundred-percent-height-scrolling\" style=\"--awb-border-radius-top-left:0px;--awb-border-radius-top-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-left:0px;--awb-padding-top:40px;--awb-padding-bottom:20px;--awb-margin-top:40px;--awb-background-color:#434551;--awb-flex-wrap:wrap;\" ><div class=\"fusion-builder-row fusion-row fusion-flex-align-items-flex-start fusion-flex-content-wrap\" style=\"max-width:1248px;margin-left: calc(-4% \/ 2 );margin-right: calc(-4% \/ 2 );\"><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-6 fusion_builder_column_3_5 3_5 fusion-flex-column\" style=\"--awb-bg-size:cover;--awb-width-large:60%;--awb-margin-top-large:0px;--awb-spacing-right-large:3.2%;--awb-margin-bottom-large:20px;--awb-spacing-left-large:3.2%;--awb-width-medium:60%;--awb-order-medium:0;--awb-spacing-right-medium:3.2%;--awb-spacing-left-medium:3.2%;--awb-width-small:100%;--awb-order-small:0;--awb-spacing-right-small:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-small:1.92%;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-column-has-shadow fusion-flex-justify-content-center fusion-content-layout-column\"><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-14\"><h4>YOU MIGHT ALSO BE INTERESTED IN<\/h4>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-7 fusion_builder_column_2_5 2_5 fusion-flex-column fusion-no-small-visibility\" style=\"--awb-bg-size:cover;--awb-width-large:40%;--awb-margin-top-large:0px;--awb-spacing-right-large:4.8%;--awb-margin-bottom-large:20px;--awb-spacing-left-large:4.8%;--awb-width-medium:40%;--awb-order-medium:0;--awb-spacing-right-medium:4.8%;--awb-spacing-left-medium:4.8%;--awb-width-small:100%;--awb-order-small:0;--awb-spacing-right-small:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-small:1.92%;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-column-has-shadow fusion-flex-justify-content-center fusion-content-layout-column\"><div style=\"text-align:right;\"><a class=\"fusion-button button-flat button-small button-custom fusion-button-default button-3 fusion-button-default-span fusion-button-default-type\" style=\"--button_accent_color:#ffffff;--button_accent_hover_color:var(--awb-color6);--button_border_hover_color:hsla(var(--awb-color6-h),var(--awb-color6-s),calc(var(--awb-color6-l) -

At the age of 18, Filipa Cardoso left her roots to go to France to study dance. She travelled the world as a dancer and discovered a passion for photography. When she moved to Brussels, she developed her passion for images by making her first films, initially devoted to the world of theatre, dance and music, then by co-directing documentaries, notably on the filmmaker Satyajit Ray in India.<\/p>\n<p>Since then, Filipa Cardoso has been constantly broadening her experience, working on all the stages of filmmaking, from shooting to final editing.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-4 fusion_builder_column_2_5 2_5 fusion-flex-column\" style=\"--awb-bg-size:cover;--awb-width-large:40%;--awb-margin-top-large:0px;--awb-spacing-right-large:4.8%;--awb-margin-bottom-large:20px;--awb-spacing-left-large:4.8%;--awb-width-medium:40%;--awb-order-medium:0;--awb-spacing-right-medium:4.8%;--awb-spacing-left-medium:4.8%;--awb-width-small:100%;--awb-order-small:0;--awb-spacing-right-small:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-small:1.92%;\" data-scroll-devices=\"small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-column-has-shadow fusion-flex-justify-content-flex-start fusion-content-layout-column\"><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-12\"><h3>DIRECTOR\u2019S STATEMENT<\/h3>\n<p>In today\u2019s world, learning techniques that imply slow maturation and transformation, are unheard of. Convinced that we have no time, we live henceforth by proxy, identifying ourselves to dreamed-up lives and in a rush to fulfill our desires at once. With this film, I wanted to slow time down for the duration of an experience in total immersion in GY\u00dcT\u00d6, where the monks seem to \u2018hasten\u2019 slowly. Wanting to observe, at the source, their very particular way of life, between tradition and modernity, the monastery is also a big university for the development of rigorous intellect, and they live there, their spirituality in phase with the world today.<\/p>\n<p>I allow myself to wander about with nothing holding me back, as much by distraction as by curiosity, swept by this red tide of men. People, objects that I encounter, irrupt before me on this journey; a journey, which is that of a wanderer. Wandering isn\u2019t just any form of laziness or aimlessness; it is both carefreeness and attention, abandonment and alertness. My approach follows this kind of method and calls for the same vision.<\/p>\n<p>The halts in my steps open up to momentary allurements to a story or a tale. Nothing more than the capture of a fleeting moment, the wish to hold on to what\u2019s already vanishing, to demonstrate my assent to all that occurs, to all that simply is. As a woman director walking around in this masculine world, never did I feel at any moment unease or unrest, as if the issue of gender didn\u2019t have its place here, because we were present there solely as beings. And I want to reach the viewers in their condition as human beings.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-fullwidth fullwidth-box fusion-builder-row-4 fusion-flex-container nonhundred-percent-fullwidth non-hundred-percent-height-scrolling\" style=\"--awb-border-radius-top-left:0px;--awb-border-radius-top-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-left:0px;--awb-flex-wrap:wrap;\" ><div class=\"fusion-builder-row fusion-row fusion-flex-align-items-flex-start fusion-flex-content-wrap\" style=\"max-width:1248px;margin-left: calc(-4% \/ 2 );margin-right: calc(-4% \/ 2 );\"><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-5 fusion_builder_column_1_1 1_1 fusion-flex-column\" style=\"--awb-bg-size:cover;--awb-width-large:100%;--awb-margin-top-large:0px;--awb-spacing-right-large:1.92%;--awb-margin-bottom-large:20px;--awb-spacing-left-large:1.92%;--awb-width-medium:100%;--awb-order-medium:0;--awb-spacing-right-medium:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-medium:1.92%;--awb-width-small:100%;--awb-order-small:0;--awb-spacing-right-small:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-small:1.92%;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-column-has-shadow fusion-flex-justify-content-flex-start fusion-content-layout-column\"><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-13\"><h4>PRINT SOURCE<\/h4>\n<p>Filipa Cardoso<br \/>\n<a href=\"mailto:filipabe@gmail.com\">filipabe@gmail.com<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-fullwidth fullwidth-box fusion-builder-row-5 fusion-flex-container thisbff-dgrey-box nonhundred-percent-fullwidth non-hundred-percent-height-scrolling\" style=\"--awb-border-radius-top-left:0px;--awb-border-radius-top-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-left:0px;--awb-padding-top:40px;--awb-padding-bottom:20px;--awb-margin-top:40px;--awb-background-color:#434551;--awb-flex-wrap:wrap;\" ><div class=\"fusion-builder-row fusion-row fusion-flex-align-items-flex-start fusion-flex-content-wrap\" style=\"max-width:1248px;margin-left: calc(-4% \/ 2 );margin-right: calc(-4% \/ 2 );\"><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-6 fusion_builder_column_3_5 3_5 fusion-flex-column\" style=\"--awb-bg-size:cover;--awb-width-large:60%;--awb-margin-top-large:0px;--awb-spacing-right-large:3.2%;--awb-margin-bottom-large:20px;--awb-spacing-left-large:3.2%;--awb-width-medium:60%;--awb-order-medium:0;--awb-spacing-right-medium:3.2%;--awb-spacing-left-medium:3.2%;--awb-width-small:100%;--awb-order-small:0;--awb-spacing-right-small:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-small:1.92%;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-column-has-shadow fusion-flex-justify-content-center fusion-content-layout-column\"><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-14\"><h4>YOU MIGHT ALSO BE INTERESTED IN<\/h4>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-7 fusion_builder_column_2_5 2_5 fusion-flex-column fusion-no-small-visibility\" style=\"--awb-bg-size:cover;--awb-width-large:40%;--awb-margin-top-large:0px;--awb-spacing-right-large:4.8%;--awb-margin-bottom-large:20px;--awb-spacing-left-large:4.8%;--awb-width-medium:40%;--awb-order-medium:0;--awb-spacing-right-medium:4.8%;--awb-spacing-left-medium:4.8%;--awb-width-small:100%;--awb-order-small:0;--awb-spacing-right-small:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-small:1.92%;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-column-has-shadow fusion-flex-justify-content-center fusion-content-layout-column\"><div style=\"text-align:right;\"><a class=\"fusion-button button-flat button-small button-custom fusion-button-default button-3 fusion-button-default-span fusion-button-default-type\" style=\"--button_accent_color:#ffffff;--button_accent_hover_color:var(--awb-color6);--button_border_hover_color:hsla(var(--awb-color6-h),var(--awb-color6-s),calc(var(--awb-color6-l) -
