< ! -- Deleted image removed : Following previous DVD releases , in 2007 the original 65 mm negative was rescanned at 8K resolution with equipment designed specifically for '' Baraka '' at FotoKem Laboratories . The automated 8K film scanner , operating continuously , took more than three weeks to finish scanning more than 150,000 frames ( taking approximately twelve to thirteen seconds to scan each frame ) , producing over thirty terabytes of image data in total . After a 16-month digital intermediate process , including a 96 kHz/24 bit audio remaster by Stearns for the DTS-HD Master Audio soundtrack of the film , the result was re-released on DVD and Blu-ray Disc in October 2008 . At the time , project supervisor Andrew Oran described the reissue of '' Baraka '' as " arguably the highest quality DVD that 's ever been made " . '' Chicago Sun-Times '' critic Roger Ebert described the Blu-ray release as " the finest video disc I have ever viewed or ever imagined . " A sequel to '' Baraka '' , '' Samsara '' , made by the same filmmakers , premiered at the 2011 Toronto International Film Festival and released internationally in August 2012 . Also shot in 70 mm , '' Samsara '' explores an arguably darker , updated version of many of the same themes as '' Baraka ''
