STILLNESS is the SECRET

How often have you been still? Really still and quiet? Part of our alienation with the world is our inability to stop and just be. We don’t need to do anything, have a purpose, or expect anything from the moment. So give yourself the space to enjoy moments of stillness – to lean into them, to be nourished by them. Let stillness be a teacher and a friend. It is these moments of silence that open up a closer connection with others. We are able to express ourselves, ask for what we need, and give what we desire to give from the centre of our being. As Rumi says, “Listen, silence isn’t empty, it is full of the answers.” Filmed in Colesburg, South Africa. Featuring Antony Osler. All of our films are made possible through the generous support of our patrons.

We use our passion for filmmaking and our love of storytelling, to remind our audience of one simple truth – that we are all human.
