MANAKAMANA

2013 / 118 mins / USA, Nepal / Nepali, English

High above the jungle in Nepal, pilgrims go on an ancient journey, travelling by cable car to reach the Manakamana temple. Without once leaving the confines of the car itself, directors Stephanie Spray and Pacho Velez craft a vast and revealing portrait of this locale and the people who pass through it. MANAKAMANA is a remarkable formal experiment, and a flat out marvelous and wildly funny kind of a ride.
