Om Work

Watch as one person goes on a quest for inner peace in this German film about a Swiss woman who finds herself at a Zen monastery. Directed by celebrated filmmaker Wener Penzel, Zen For Nothing follows Sabine, who travels to the Antaiji monastery on the west coast of Japan where she is swept up in the community’s daily activities, religious studies, and celebrations. With its Northeast premiere this month at Pleasantville’s Jacob Burns Film Center, now is the perfect time to meditate on a great film.
