SOULS OF ZEN: ANCESTORS AND AGENCY IN CONTEMPORARY JAPANESE TEMPLE BUDDHISM
Directed by Jakob Montrasio
The Japanese population’s reaction to the catastrophe of March 2011 has been described as “stoic” by the Western media. The Japanese code of conduct is indeed deeply rooted in their Buddhist traditions, and young filmmakers Tim Graf and Jakob Montrasio observe in detail what this means for the people and their religion.
