About this Event

Experience the award-winning journey of KŪKAI — a special screening followed by an exclusive Q&A with the filmmakers!


KŪKAI is a visually stunning documentary that brings to the screen the remarkable story of Kūkai, one of the most influential figures in Japanese cultural history. In 804 AD, he traveled from Japan to Tang China in search of knowledge, beginning a journey that would leave a lasting mark on art, learning, and cultural life across East Asia.


More than a historical portrait, the film offers a vivid window into a time when ideas, creativity, and human connection moved powerfully across borders. Built on years of research and brought to life through immersive visual storytelling, KŪKAI invites audiences into a world of travel, discovery, and cross-cultural exchange that still feels deeply meaningful today.


🏆 8 International Awards (including Best Documentary, LIFA)

🎥 5 Years of production

🎤 Exclusive post-screening Q&A with the filmmakers

🌏 A big-screen journey across cultures
