Golden Kingdom

Take a fresh glimpse at an unseen world with Golden Kingdom. Following four novice Buddhist monks who bravely venture out from their remote monastery, the film features gorgeous cinematography of Myanmar’s countryside (formerly Burma), newly opened to outsiders after decades of isolation. Featuring real-life monks (three of the young leads are actual apprentices) and long slow pans across gorgeous scenery, the film is one to savor for its meditative qualities and concepts. In Burmese with English subtitles, read aloud. (101 mins., DCP)
