ABOUT MAMAKI FILM
MAMAKI FILM makes documentary films about psychology, personal and spiritual growth, ancient and modern mindfulness practices, and the way people relate to one another in a world that is changing fast and growing ever more diverse.
Although the name Mamaki* comes from Buddhism, we don’t follow any single spiritual or philosophical tradition.
Our project is a kind of postmodern take on film and psychology. We don’t try to convey an objective reality. What matters to us is creating a space for self-reflection: we explore the diversity of human experience, subjective worlds, and the connections between them.
We like to bring very personal moments between a psychologist and a client to the screen, inviting viewers to rethink the boundaries between the private and the public, the inner and the collective.
We enjoy playing with form and boldly stretching the limits of genre, yet we also love classic documentary. Our postmodernism isn’t about tearing traditions down — it is more of a dialogue with them.
Honesty in our films is less about documenting reality and more about staying true to what we want to convey — to the essence and the message of our stories.
Our films often become a mirror for ourselves: we show ourselves in moments of emotional searching and unrest. This is more than breaking the fourth wall. It is a statement: filmmaking is a “process of self-discovery,” in which awareness itself becomes the subject of art.
The MAMAKI FILM team is a group of passionate, creative professionals. Over the years, we have made more than 200 films about masters of psychology and their methods. We also film retreats, trainings and individual sessions on commission, while staying true to our mission — exploring the depths of human experience.

*In the Tantric tradition of Buddhism, Mamaki is the female embodiment of the Wisdom of Equanimity, inherent in the mind of the Buddha. The wisdom Mamaki represents is the realization that “self” and “others” are equal.
In Buddhist practice, this wisdom shows itself as the ability to perceive everyone, oneself included, as equals; to see and draw on other people’s strengths; and to be open to their successes — which makes it possible to learn quickly and take on useful experience.
Tantric practice emphasizes transforming one’s own everyday perception. Then every life situation and every disturbing emotion becomes a source of wisdom. The Wisdom of Equanimity arises when pride — the kind that sets us apart from others — is transformed.
In psychology, equanimity is not to be confused with indifference. At every moment of life, a person lives fully in form — feeling, acting, achieving, living a fulfilled life — and yet does not identify with that form. Equanimity can also mean a middle, integrative path through life, one that sees the various spiritual traditions as possibilities, as forms experienced by consciousness. Without identifying with any one tradition, a person can find a path of their own.
