DANCE OF THE DAKINIS short film watch, 28min., USA, Documentary
DOCUMENTARY SHORT FILMS • Documentary, Independent, Short Films
The film focuses on the empowerment of female monastics and the innovation of gender roles in Vajrayana Buddhism. The film has two frameworks: an outer framework that focuses on rising status of Tibetan nuns in previously male dominated religious structures, and an inner framework that focuses on the inner state of the dancer. The film delves into how ancient rituals adapt in shifting political and cultural landscapes and how the roles of women evolve and develop in this framework.
