Join us for a special screening of KŪKAI, followed by a post-screening Q&A with the Creative Team.
Date: Saturday, August 1, 2026 Admission time 2:30 PM Screening time 3:00 PM
A 90-minute screening of KŪKAI followed by a post-screening Q&A with members of the film’s creative team. The film features Chinese narration with English subtitles.
Directed by Yue Ye, the 90-minute film traces Kūkai's journey to Tang China and explores themes of learning, compassion and cultural exchange. Rooted in rigorous historical research, the documentary seeks to reconstruct an authentic portrait of Kūkai and his guiding ethos: purity of heart, compassion for all beings, selflessness, and boundless vows and practice.
A key element of the project's broader artistic world is the large-scale symphonic work Kūkai, composed by Chinese composer Zou Ye, which has been performed internationally by ensembles including the London Philharmonic Orchestra.
Presented at South Pasadena Public Library, Community Room. For more details: https://www.kukaimovie.com
