Baraka

I have two passions, photography and music. Baraka combines these two into an epic documentry. It was the first film in over twenty years to be photographed in the 65mm Todd-AO format. The movie was filmed in color 70 mm film in 24 countries: Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Cambodia, China, Ecuador, Egypt, France, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Iran, Israel, Italy, Japan, Kenya, Kuwait, Nepal, Poland, Saudi Arabia, Tanzania, Thailand, Turkey, and the United States. It contains no dialogue or cohesive plot.
The title Baraka is an Arabic word literally meaning blessing. As a Sufi term it refers to a sense of divine presence, but is more often associated with a place or person. In addition to making comparisons between natural and technological phenomena Baraka searches for a universal cultural perspective. The score is provided by Brendan Perry and Lisa Gerrard (from Dead Can Dance) and Michael Stearns.
