Four years in the making, Tibet: A Buddhist Trilogy played to international acclaim following its initial release in 1979. Hailed as a masterpiece, the Trilogy brings you face to face with the unbroken continuity of Tibet’s ancient culture. The original version of the meditative documentary clocked in at nearly four hours. It returns in a digitally restored, re-cut edition that runs just over two hours. In three parts, the film patiently unwraps the details of daily monastic life. From a portrait of the Dalai Lama as a spiritual and temporal leader, to an unprecedented revelation of the mystical inner world of monastic life and an unflinching depiction of the moving response to a death in the community, the film takes you on an intimate journey deep into the heart of an ancient Buddhist culture.
