We have become entangled with technology more than ever. The distinctions between work and home, between leisure and labor, and between focus and distraction, are progressively blurring. How should we respond to this crisis and from where might we find the wisdom to regulate ourselves from the onslaught of digital creep? One source of wisdom is to be found with the world’s ancient faith traditions. This film engages the practices and habits of community leaders and practitioners of Singapore’s major faith groups, in one of the world’s most technologically advanced nations. Technologies of the Soul shows us how Asia’s ancient traditions have adapted rituals, sacrifices, prayers, and sabbaticals – and other techniques of the self – to create space outside of time to maintain peace and serenity.

Ness soared to stardom in the glitzy world of Hollywood, adopting the persona of Kara Linney. Her life seemed like a fairy tale come true, until a harrowing public breakdown, fueled by drugs, shattered her career and compelled her to return to her quaint hometown, Willow Falls.
Back in her roots, Ness rekindled her connection with her past, reuniting with old friends, and rediscovering her faith, thanks to her supportive father. Little did she anticipate that the townspeople would be so moved by her journey that they decided to create their own film, with Ness as their leading lady.
In the midst of this heartfelt tale, comedy, tragedy, and the power of forgiveness enveloped the small-town girl who had been concealed beneath the glamorous facade of a Hollywood starlet.

The campaign's purpose is to expand understanding, and address community anxiety and some of the fears around the deterioration of health, dying, death, loss and grief.
Over two years, we followed eleven people across Australia, who knew they had 12 months or less to live, and asked them to share their story.
The campaign purpose is to expand understanding, and address community anxiety and some of the fears around deterioration of health, dying, death, loss and grief.
The campaign objectives are:- To promote, encourage and nurture positive conversations about dying, end-of-life care and death;- To offer a positive discourse to shape the community’s understanding of approaching and reaching the end of life;- To provide credible information about quality end of life care based on assessed need;- To learn from people who have found life, hope and healing as they approach the end-of-life; and- To communicate that each and every person matters to the last moment of their life.
Thanks to the courage, honesty and generosity of eleven persons with advanced life-limiting disease, their loved ones and caregivers, the campaign shares with you eleven highly intimate, authentic and educative encounters.
Our campaign participants elected to live an empowered and dignified life, as defined by themselves, their families and carers.
