"The Cup," by Indian director Khyentse Norbu Rinpoche, takes place in a monastery during the World Cup soccer finals. Funny, engaging and warm, the film provides the audience with a realistic look into what life is like in a Tibetan Buddhist monastery. It is being screened on the afternoon following the Dalai Lama's presentation to the children of Hailey. As a companion piece, the movie "Words of My Perfect Teacher" was made by one of Khyentse Norbu Rinpoche's students. It was filmed on location in Bhutan, Britain and Germany.
"Discovering Buddhism" was produced by Lama Zopa Rinpoche's Foundation for the Preservation of Mahayana Tradition Buddhism. This is a series of 13 short documentaries on different aspects of Buddhism and its practices. The documentaries are narrated by either Richard Gere or Keanu Reeves, and are a great way for people to learn about Buddhism.

The festival is screening specially chosen films focusing on themes relevant to the Buddhist tradition at both the Liberty Theatre in Hailey and the Sun Valley Opera House in Sun Valley.
The multinational film festival was founded by Mary Gervase of Hailey and Claudio Ruben of Santa Fe.
"We tried to have movies from a lot of different countries," Ruben, a film producer, said. "We've been quite fortunate."
Indeed they have. The 16 movies are a mix of documentaries and features from around the globe.
German director Doris Dorrie's comedy "Enlightenment Guaranteed" is about two German brothers, who head to Japan in search of the Zen experience. It's a sequel to one of Dorrie's biggest hit films, "Man."
