ABOUT MAMAKI FILM

MAMAKI FILM makes documentaries about psychology, personal and spiritual growth, ancient and modern mindfulness practices, and human relationships in a world that is rapidly changing and becoming more diverse.
Although the name Mamaki* comes from Buddhism, we do not adhere to any one spiritual or philosophical tradition.

Our project is a kind of postmodern view of cinema and psychology. We do not aim to convey objective reality, it is important for us to create a space for self-reflection, we explore the diversity of experiences, subjective worlds and the connections between them.

We like to show very personal moments of psychologist-client interaction on screen, inviting viewers to reconsider the boundaries between the personal and the public, the internal and the collective.
We like to play with form, boldly pushing genre boundaries, but we also like classic documentaries. Our postmodernism is not aimed at destroying traditions, but rather at dialoguing with them.
Honesty in our films is not so much about documenting reality as it is about being true to what we want to convey, true to the essence and message of our stories.

Often our movies become a mirror to ourselves - we show ourselves in moments of emotional searching and excitement. It's not just breaking the fourth wall, but the message: cinema is a “process of self-discovery” where awareness becomes the subject of art.

The MAMAKI FILM team is a group of passionate and committed filmmakers.

*In the Tantric tradition of Buddhism, Mamaki is the female image of the Equal Wisdom inherent in the Buddha's mind. The wisdom that Mamaki represents is the mastery of the equality of self and others.

In Buddhist practice, this wisdom manifests itself as the ability to see everyone and oneself, including as equals, to see and build on the merits of others, and to be open to the successes of others, which allows one to learn quickly and adopt useful experiences.
In tantra practices, the emphasis is on a person's transformation of his own everyday perception. Then the source of his wisdom becomes all situations of life and all interfering emotions. Equal wisdom arises from the transformation of exclusionary pride.

In psychology it is believed that Equanimity should not be confused with indifference, because at any moment of life a man is fully living in form: feeling, acting, achieving, realized living. Yet he is not identified with the form. Equanimity can also mean a median, integrative way of life that views the various spiritual traditions as some kind of possibilities, forms experienced by consciousness. Without identifying with any tradition, a person can build his or her own unique path.
