In the Fire of Dancing Stillness - Reflections with Vimala Thakar
October. 22,2020Is it possible to live a more peaceful and creative life on our planet? In a time when the state of the planet poses important questions: What is life worth to us? And what do we still consider sacred? These questions inspired the Director to meet the Indian mystic, philosopher and grassroots activist Vimala Thakar (1921 – 2009). It was an encounter that deeply inspired and changed her life. Almost twenty years later, she researches the profound work of this fascinating woman again in the context of our time, and translates her urgent call for holistic thinking and action into a cinematic work of art.

Absolutely Fantastic
In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
