Revisiting Ajanta —
Animated Films
As a part of the project Revisiting Ajanta, Prof. Shilpa Ranade is directing three animation
short films based on Gautam Buddha and the Tibetan saints Padmasambhava and Milarepa.
It will guide us through the lives of these Buddhist greats as they were as people. Although
these three individuals existed in three very different times, they share a multifold bond in
their stories as well as their personalities. The films seek to explore these bonds and through
the stories of their lives, understand where they come from as people. This attempt to
understand Buddhism is at a far more personal level than it has ever been attempted before. |
