CRITICAL ACCLAIM

THE FILM

This is a mysterious and engaging journey through sound, song, story, ritual, performance, nature, tradition and Japanese Buddhism…a fearless merging of medieval and modern, beautifully filmed with a variety of cinematic techniques on location in Japan.

“KanZeOn” is another way in Japanese of saying Kannon (Chinese: Kuanyin), Sanskrit: Avalokitesvara, Tibetan: Chenrezi), the Buddhist personification of compassion.

Produced by Cinema Iloobia and Dissolving Path
Directed by Neil Cantwell and Tim Grabham
