This is not a documentary in the traditional sense; there is no narrator, no dialogue, no plot. It is a guided meditation using 70mm film stock.

From the intricate sand mandalas of Tibetan monks to the hauntingly mechanical precision of modern food production, the 1080p clarity highlights textures you’d miss in any other format.
