Dear Bawa Muhaiyaddeen

An experimental documentary of the life and community of the Sri Lankan Sufi teacher, Dear Bawa Muhaiyaddeen immerses the viewer in realities and narratives densely layered in sound, while oscillating visually between observational and subjective depictions of his community in the U.S. and Sri Lanka. Filmed during Ramadan 1434 (July-August 2013) at the Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Fellowship in Philadelphia and his Mazar (shrine) in Chester County, PA.

By Kythe Heller and Peter McMurray
