The Future of Buddhism is in My Hands
The Venerable Master Hsing Yun is a world-renowned religious leader, humanitarian, author and teacher. At the age of ninety, the Venerable Master Hsing Yun talks about the “beautiful human world” he often dreamed about in the last two, three years. Aiming to trace a religious leader’s train of thought, the film looks into how Fo Guang Shan（FGS） started on a desolate hill in Taiwan Kaohsiung and expanded into an organisation, which has branches in all five continents, turning the world into a better place by propagating the Humanistic Buddhism. Through the “FGS Buddhist Centre” in India, the “Children of Zu Lai” football team in Brazil and the Filipino musical Siddhartha, we hear countless moving tales and witness the Venerable Master Hsing Yun’s compassion. Moreover, we see how the lives of numerous people are dramatically improved as they receive the education Fo Guang Shan offer, and it proves that Hsing Yun is not only a great religious leader but also a great educator. This production took the crew four years to complete after having travelled to eight countries for the story. This documentary shows us how the Venerable Master has achieved so much in just a few decades.

Past Future
During an art residency (VIDEOFORMES’ Digital Artist Residency) in an agricultural high school at Yssingeaux, in the south of Auvergne (France), the Brazilian artist Kika Nicolela developed a project in collaboration with a group of students. Through different propositions, in which the camera is sometimes controlled by the artist, sometimes at the hands of these youngsters, a large amount of video was produced, a material that the artist did not touch for six years.
The film PAST FUTURE builds, simultaneously, a portrait of these teenagers – often anguished about their future – and a self portrait of the artist in a deep personal crisis, having as a background the rigorous winter and the landscape of Auvergne.
Tambour ou Bola (Drum or Ball)
Inspired on Wilson’s Santos trajectory, the movie shows the journey of a musician and percussionist who found the Drums Orchestra of Alagoas, devoting his life to music and to the dissemination of popular percussion as a tool to social inclusion of poor youngers
Quilombola from North’s Santa Luzia, migrates to the state’s capital, drawn by his parents life’s needs. In Maceio, the boy grew up, like many other kids, without education, deprived from a dignified life, safe and warm. Sanked in a marginal world, full of needs, violence and criminality.
The film reveals the life trajectory of this real character, archetype of so many other real individuals from the Brazil periphery, face of those and each of us in our fight for survival, in our innocent memories, joys and daily difficulties. And yet, in a world where wolves devour wolves, a human being who feels and cares about the existence of so many other boys and girls, who survive at the crossroads of life, marginalized, creating and reinventing their own existence, their games and adventures, even without the aid of “Ariadne’s string” to guide them back to life and freedom. Contrary to the logic of an excludent society, with all of its adversities, our character finds in music the path to his human and professional affirmation and also an instrument to help other children and youngers.
