- DirectorJulian HarveyShannon HarveyStarsNeil BaileyAmit BernsteinJudson BrewerOverwhelmed with insomnia and an incurable autoimmune disease, Shannon Harvey needed to make a change. But while the award-winning health journalist found plenty of recommendations on diet, sleep and exercise, when she looked for the equivalent of a 30-minute workout for her mental wellbeing, there was nothing. Worried for the future mental health of her kids who were growing up amidst epidemics of stress, anxiety, depression and addiction, Shannon enlisted a team of scientists to put meditation to the test. Could learning to quiet our busy minds be the simple solution the world so desperately needs? Throughout her year of living mindfully Shannon is poked, prodded, scanned and screened as she travels the world to interview 18 of the world's leading mindfulness scientists and pioneers. But after a 30,000 kilometre journey from the bright lights of Manhattan to the dusty refugee camps of the Middle East, what begins as a self-experiment, transforms into a life-changing experience. My Year of Living Mindfully is filled with compelling stories, groundbreaking science, and unexpected insights that go to the heart of what it means to be human in the twenty-first century.

- DirectorPaul MacGowanStarsLaurie AndersonTara BrachCortland DahlA Joyful Mind is a film about finding true happiness and well being through the practice of meditation. Today, the accelerating pace of life poses real challenges to our well-being. At the same time, new understandings about meditation are shedding light on how its transformative powers can improve our lives. A Joyful Mind pulls back the curtain on what it means to meditate, on what modern science reveals about its benefits, and on how meditation and mindfulness can be used in workplaces and schools. This groundbreaking film serves to clear up the confusion around meditation perpetuated by the media and others. It features the experiences of both novice and master meditators, highlighting Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche, whose teachings have touched people around the world with their clarity, wit and personal insight into how meditation can have a positive impact on our daily lives.
- DirectorAlejandro De GraziaJuan Maria StadlerStarsMatthieu RicardTania SingerDavid Steindl-RastAlejandro is an ordinary man, as probably you and me. Like most of us he is in search of happiness, but he has reached that point where he understands that many of the decisions he made in his life, which seemed to bring him calm and satisfaction, only added stress and tiredness. He doesn't know, he doesn't understand how to change his way of thinking. He doesn't know what the path to happiness is. In the year 2018 he has a unique opportunity: to travel in a very close way along a Buddhist monk who lived 50 years in the Himalayas and accompanied the most recognized masters of Tibetan Buddhism (Matthieu Ricard), an extraordinary Benedictine monk of 92 years (Brother David) and a prestigious neuroscientist who has studied the brain of Matthieu Ricard (Tania Singer), during their stays in Buenos Aires and the Argentinean Patagonia. Alejandro's wife, is a cultural producer, and responsible for bringing Matthieu (who has been described by the international press as "the happiest man in the world" and is also a professional photographer) to give a lecture about altruism and happiness in Buenos Aires and to take him on a trek to take pictures of Mount Fitz Roy. This is his opportunity to raise his hand and ask for help to redirect his life and understand the causes of Happiness. Through his genuine humor, his brazenness and vulnerability, "From Stress to Happiness" invites us to go hand in hand with Alejandro, letting him be the voice of the simplest yet most complex questions and listen to the answers of these extraordinary beings. Why am I stressed? What is meditation and what is it for? How to get out of anxiety? How to get out of fear? What does neuroscience have to say about it? What is the purpose of life? How do we develop a life of purpose? How do we build trust? What is the best way to make use of our life? And what are the questions that really make sense to ask ourselves? This adventure is accompanied by memorable landscapes that are breathtaking and remind us of the essence of the transcendental and the simple. Perhaps we will begin to find answers. Between beautiful photography and music, Alejandro transforms himself and invites us to transform ourselves as well. Enjoy the journey.
