On Yoga the Architecture of Peace

On Yoga the Architecture of Peace is a China–India co-production — one of only a handful of such cross-border film titles indexed here.

Synopsis

Based on Michael O’Neill’s book of the same name, this documentary tells the story of the ten years the author spent photographing yoga’s great masters. Created as a deep extension of the original book, the film poses very human questions from our current perspective, mixing it with elements of movement and experiential sound, resulting in a new view of the Art of Yoga.
