| Benares: Steps to Heaven |
| (1984, Color, 30 min) |
| Richard Riddiford’s remarkable profile of Benares explores the spiritual forces that have insured the survival of India’s most sacred city for thousands of years. Bathing in the Ganges of Benares gives spiritual cleansing and dying here insures permanent release from reincarnation. |
| Sherpa High Country |
| (1977, color, 20 min) |
| Xenia Lisanovich’s beautifully photographed ethnographic documentary features the Sherpas of the Solu Khumbu highlands in Nepal, located near Mt. Everest. Sherpa life is shown in detail and features stunning cinematography of the great annual three-day Mani Rimdu ceremonies held at the Tangboche monastery. |
| Tanka |
| (1976, color, 8 min.) By David Lebrun |
| "An extraordinary film." -- Melinda Wortz, Art News
Tanka means, literally, a thing rolled up. ”Tanka” is brilliantly powered by the insight that Tibetan religious paintings are intended to be perceived not in repose but in constant movement. The film, photographed from Tibetan scroll paintings of the sixteenth to nineteenth centuries, is a cyclical vision of ancient gods and demons, an animated journey through the image world of the Tibetan Book of the Dead. |
