Baraka is the 1992 film collaboration between Director/Photographer Ron Fricke, Producer Mark Magidson and Composer Michael Stearns.
The film was shot in 25 countries on six continents with a custom-built computerized 65mm camera. The process took over 30 months to complete which included 14 months on location.
"The goal of the film," says producer Mark Magidson, "was to reach past language. nationality, religion and politics and speak to the inner viewer."
The principal photography utilized TODD-AO 70mm film which introduced viewers to a cinematic experience in scale and detail not found in traditional theaters.
Fricke commonly refers to the film as "a guided meditation on humanity."
Filmed over five years in twenty-five countries, SAMSARA is a new, non-verbal documentary from filmmakers Ron Fricke and Mark Magidson, the creators of BARAKA. It is one of only a handful of films shot on 70mm in the past forty years.
