DESCRIPTION:On June 12\, we welcome Indian filmmaker Harsha Vinay to CERES
 . He will show four short films about Jainism\, providing an insight into 
 this fascinating religion.\nThe films deal with the ritual practices of th
 e Jains\, the production of manuscripts and their use\, temples\, pilgrima
 ges\, and the everyday life of Jain ascetics in India.\n\nBetween the film
 s\, there will be a Q&A session and a discussion with the director.\n\nThe
 se are the films that will be shown (the order may vary):\n\nVihāra – a
  path to salvation\n\nA group of nuns and a naked monk walk bare foot for 
 hundreds of kilometers through changing landscapes along centuries old pil
 grimage routes\, visiting Jain temples and sacred sites in South and Centr
 al India.\nThe process of pilgrimage\, the do’s and don’ts\, the ways 
 of travel\, the times of travel and the differences between a pilgrimage b
 y a monk and a pilgrimage by lay people are some of the topics that this f
 ilm presents.\n\nAsceticism - a day in the life of …\n\nMonks and nuns\,
  known as Munis and Mataji’s describe their daily routines that are rigo
 rously followed during pilgrimage journeys. One witnesses how they live an
 d practice their values of nonviolence\, compassion\, tolerance\, in every
  action of the day: standing\, walking\, eating\, resting\, reading\, etc.
 \n\nJain Texts of Knowledge – manuscripts\n\nArtisans write verses of an
 cient Jain texts in a calligraphic style on evenly sized handmade paper wi
 th gold ink. The actions of dipping into the ink pot\, the smooth flow of 
 gold ink on paper require caution and control. One witnesses the slow\, me
 ticulous and meditative writing technique that produces beautiful\, styliz
 ed texts or manuscripts.\n\nConversations with Jains from India\n\nJains f
 rom across India speak about how they practice their faith in daily life.\
 nPriyank and Shwetha Jain are architects who design a community space in M
 athura\, North India\, using what they call\, non-violent architecture. A 
 producer of organic vegetables and foods\, Rohit Jain\, discusses the chal
 lenges of farming and the Jain faith\, while the CEO of a large constructi
 on company\, Pradeep Jain\, shares his ideas on ecology and environment.
