Tantra 2011

Directed by Benjamin Tuček

Hundreds of Czech men and women attend tantric seminars. Although yoga and various forms of meditation are quite widespread in the Western world, people often confuse tantra with, for example, the Kama Sutra, and perceive it solely for its sexual aspect. The creator of the new documentary film Tantra was interested in whether such a simplification corresponds to reality and whether there is any way to use this ancient teaching to improve life, romantic relationships, and family bonds in the present day. The documentary Tantra by screenwriter and director Benjamin Tuček offers a glimpse into the world of tantric seminars led by experienced instructors John Hawken and Alan Lowen.
