Breathing Matter(s): Manakamana

silent green presents

Guest: Stephanie Spray (Zoom)
Presented by: Uli Ziemons

The film (Stephanie Spray, Pacho Velez, Nepal/USA 2013, 118 min) uses fixed camera shots to observe pilgrims, tourists and animals as they take the cable car to the Manakamana Temple of Hindu goddess Bhagwati in Nepal. Each of the twelve shots is one cable car ride, twelve portraits of people and the landscape and culture that surrounds them.

The film is at once a cinematic trance, a conceptual transgression and ethnographical study.
