Days of Future Buddhas

Shot on film between 1988 and 1993 and re-edited by the filmmaker in 2015, Days of Future Buddhas had also been banned… so has now returned to us from afar. Moreover, its subject is persistence – that of Buddhism in Russia during the Soviet era. The khambo-lama Mungko, whose burning funeral pyre is seen at the beginning of the film, will, according to belief, be reborn many times.
