The second Melbourne Buddhist Film Festival will be held over the weekend 31 October to 1 November 2009 at the Australian Centre for the Moving Image (ACMI), in Federation Square, Melbourne. 

The Melbourne Buddhist Film Festival is presented by the Buddhist Council of Victoria.

Six films, most not screened before in Melbourne, explore the deep influence of Buddhist practice in the transformation of people’s lives. The films explore Buddhist lives and experiences in the West and East, including the lives of prisoners, punks, other inspirational practitioners and spiritual leaders. The program also includes a public talk on Buddhist symbolism, and a traditional Japanese tea ceremony in the ACMI function space.

We look forward to meeting you in person, and enjoying the festival together!
