BARAKA

Director: Ron Fricke

1992, 108

 

Join us for the one-night, single screening of Baraka, the unique film that has become Hartford’s alternative holiday tradition. [If you haven’t yet heard, family and friends get together for a pot luck feast, followed by a profound evening of cinema at Cinestudio.] Director/photographer Ron Fricke traveled six continents and 24 countries to capture mesmerizing images of life on our earth, shot in large formatToddAO® 70mm. With Cinestudio’s crystal clear sound and images, you will fully experience the multiplicity of spiritual expression, from chanting Buddhist monks, Jews praying at the Wailing Wall, Masai tribal dancers to hypnotic Dervishes. The destructive side of humanity is on display in places like Auschwitz and burning oil fields.

Like no other film, with dialogue or without, Baraka is “a journey of rediscovery that plunges into nature, into history, into the human spirit and finally into the realm of the infinite.” – Ron Fricke.
