Hello everyone,
One of the advantages of living in an artist live/work is that we can watch movies on a big screen with a digital projector. So I'm going to have a little private get-together this Thursday in the Encounter Studio space, and we're watching the movie "Himalaya." If you'd like to join us, just drop me a line. Hope to see you then!

1999, color, 108 minutes
Tibetan language with English subtitles
Directed by Eric Valli
Dr. Yo says:
First-time director Eric Valli did well with the breathtakingly beatiful "Himalaya," as it has enjoyed wide distribution and was nominated for an Academy Award. It's a realistic fiction depicting the life of ethnic Tibetans living on the northwestern border of Nepal. Valli, a Swiss photographer, lived in the Dolpo region for 15 years before making the film, and it shows his love of the place and its people.
The story concerns tribal conflicts surrounding the annual trade of salt for grain. The climate of the region is harsh, and in order to survive, villagers must trade salt for grain. Using a caravan of yaks, they haul the salt down treacherous mountain passes to a town, where they can trade it for grain. The cinematography of this film is spectacular, and its realism verges on documentary while still engaging the audience in a passionate dramatic narrative.
