Samsara, scheduled for release in 2010 is a follow-up to Baraka (1992) and similar to the groundbreaking Chronos (1985), directed by experimental filmmaker, Ron Fricke who worked previously as the Director of Photography with director Godfrey Reggio on the Qatsi trilogy. Like both the Qatsi trilogy (Koyaanisqatsi, Powaqqatsi, Naqoyqatsi) and Baraka, the film deals with Fricke's perrenial theme of humanity's relationship with the eternal.
The word, Samsara is Sanskrit संसार for the endless cycle of suffering caused by birth, death and rebirth (i.e. reincarnation) within Buddhism, some sects of Hindu, and other religions.
I'm looking forward to it.
