Thanks for sharing that! I confess dance is not really a medium I appreciate enough, but the music and filmography and overall sentiment were great. It reminds me of my favourite movie, Baraka.
If you haven’t seen it, it’s a beautiful collection of global footage with music, and arguably more optimistic than I am. But it was from 1992 when things did seem a little more hopeful. It’s in a similar vein to the Qatsi trilogy, which is more famous.
This is just one “Chapter”/song from it, but it’s something I think about often. It’s probably the saddest part of an otherwise emotionally varied film: Baraka: Dead Can Dance - Host of Seraphim (7mins 14sec) Unfortunately none of the people here are actors or performers though, except the Japanese Butoh dancers at the end of it.
I can’t help but wonder how many of these people have survived the last 30 years since this movie.

Baraka and Samsara are both amazing films
