Synopsis
This film will transport the audience from the bayous of Louisiana to the deserts of Namibia, from the beaches of Brazil to the mountains of Bhutan. Happiness is a universal concept, yet at times people need to be told how to be happy. Take in the wisdom of a Kolkata rickshaw driver, the compassion of a volunteer at Mother Teresa’s Home for the Dying and the unexpected findings from some of the world’s leading researchers of happiness. Realisation dawns on middle school students who applaud the bravery of their peers during a moving presentation on bullying. HAPPY combines real-life human stories with scientific evidence to provide insights into the mysteries of happiness.
Directed by Roko Belic
From its humble beginnings in 2009, THIS has grown to become an established biennial event among the local Buddhist community. It has become a platform for Buddhists and non-Buddhists alike who share an interest in films to explore this genre and exchange their views.
Our aspirations to share the Buddha’s Teachings for the benefit of all have brought us together this past year to select films that have reminded each of us to look inward. It is our hope that beyond the usual purpose of entertaining viewers. These films about life’s experiences will also invite the audience to reflect on how we can live better for ourselves as well as for those around us.
