Tricycle’s annual Buddhist Shorts Film Festival is back! This March, we’re featuring five short films documenting Buddhist diversity around the world. Amongst the cinematic journeys in store, we’ll follow along with a young backpacker for her first stay at a Buddhist monastery, learn about the communal traditions of a rural village in Thailand, and take a glimpse inside the mind of an inspiring LGBTQ activist turned monastic.
Check out our slate of must-see Buddhist shorts below.
If you’re not a Tricycle subscriber, become one today to gain access to this lineup of films running March 4, 2023 to March 31, 2023.
