KanZeOn is an alternative reading of the Japanese name for the Bodhisattva of Compassion, Kannon, or literally, ‘she who hears the cries of the world’. In a film which is part documentary and part spiritual, sensory experience, three special Japanese musicians explore the magical potential of sound. A young buddhist priest who happens to also be a hip-hop DJ, performs at volcanic Mount Aso. An adept of the rare bamboo instrument Sho, believed to imitate the call of the mythical phoenix. A Kotsudumi drummer who takes part in a Noh theater performance. Immerse yourself in an unconventional and transformative world where a rarely seen view of Japanese culture is revealed through ancient rituals and extraordinary musical spectacle.
