The Agents have a fascinating conversation with filmmkaer Yujiro Seki about his documentary "Carving The Divine." Yujiro tells us about behind-the-scenes personal directive to make a unique movie.
The documentary offers a rare look into a 1400-year-old Buddhist tradition and the practitioners struggling to preserve a legacy in a rapidly changing Japan. Yujiro has made a film that would make Werner Herzog proud in it's ability to contrast the woodcarvers passion for craft up against dominant contemporary culture . Viewers can begin to ask "What is technology? What do I want from my images and objects? Do we value humanity and it's handiwork?
We hope you enjoy this conversation and please follow the address below to watch the documentary...a must see for anyone who enjoys aesthetics, works with their hands or values dedication and fine work. Plus these folks are great and compelling to watch!
