Meetings with Remarkable Men
Directed by Peter Brook (1979)
From the book of the same name, this semi-biographical film follows G. I. Gurdjieff from childhood to maturity in his quest for the meaning of life. As he travels through Central Asia and Egypt, each man and woman he encounters offers insight into the questions that compel his search. The film includes stunning footage of the sacred dances Gurdjieff brought to the West.
Seeing, Searching, Being: William Segal
Directed by Ken Burns (2010)
William Segal (1904 - 2000) was a philosopher, publisher, writer and painter who searched relentlessly and compassionately for meaning in the 20th century. The student of such diverse masters as G.I. Gurdjieff and D.T. Suzuki, Segal helped bring Eastern and Western spiritual traditions together, always stressing what connected humanity rather than what differentiated it. In the last decade of his life, Segal befriended the documentary filmmaker Ken Burns, and the two collaborated on this trilogy.
”We see our own reflections countless times a day…and we are curious, pleased, critical, vain. But we rarely have the courage William Segal had, the courage of self-portraiture, to ask with each fleeting glimpse of oneself:
Who am I?"
- Ken Burns
