a portrait of seeking and finding our true self
a film by Shawn Nevins
Is there an eternal part of ourselves? What has lasting
meaning? Where do we find certainty? Rather than philosophical
discussion, this film explores the possibility of living a life devoted
to a search for answers, and the radical possibility that answers exist,
closer than we can imagine, within our selves.
"Closer Than Close is a deftly crafted and poignant tale
that weaves the stories of a handful of seekers bivouacked at various
stages along the spiritual path with the straight-talk wisdom of three
extraordinary individuals who have seemingly put an end to seeking. This
juxtaposition creates a compelling resonance in which we can see (if the
angle of light is just so) that the seekers and those that have stopped
seeking are closer than we think. These are real stories of struggle and
despair, friendship and hope, but above all, insight. Put this video on
your list, better yet put it in your player and see what happens."
