"You must take care of the others." Kino Lorber has revealed an official Us trailer for the film titled Golden Kingdom, a narrative feature shot entirely in the Asian country of Myanmar (also known as Burma) by an American filmmaker named Brian Perkins. The film features non-actors and "bridges spirit, cinema, and traditional Burmese storytelling to open a view onto an unseen world." The story is about four young monks who are left alone in their remote monastery in northern Myanmar. Perkins has traveled extensively around Asia and India, establishing relationships in the monasteries and villages of Burma. This looks like a one-of-a-kind film, truly capturing the beauty of the location and the peacefulness of Buddhism. Worth watching.

"Gurukulam" follows a group of students and their teacher, influential monk Swami Dayanada Saraswati, as they explore the Indian wisdom tradition of non-duality while staying in a secluded forest ashram in southern India.

Set in the mountains of Myanmar, "Golden Kingdom" centers on four young Buddhist monks who must learn to fend for themselves after their teacher embarks on an unaccompanied journey through the mountain pass. Per the film's official synopsis, "Golden Kingdom" was shot entirely in Mynmar with non-professional actors. Given the film's sophisticated imagery and the complicated geopolitical circumstances surrounding production -- the country formerly known as Burma only just recently reopened its borders in 2011 to the rest of the world -- it's hard to believe that director Brian Perkins is actually a first-time filmmaker. Check out the trailer for "Golden Kingdom" below, exclusively on Indiewire.
