Himalaya, l'Enfance d'un chef (réalisateur Eric Valli)
Himalaya, l'Enfance d'un chef (film director Eric Valli)

Summary/Abstract: "Envisage that each person in the planet is enlightened but you" Buddha says… "They are all your teachers, each doing just the right things to help you learn patience, just right perception, perfect empathy." This citation provides the wonderful movie Himalaya, a surprisingly beautiful and thematically rich Nepalese film that presents a lot of vanishing elements of an isolated Tibetan culture. "What I learned from these people is courage, dignity, and tolerance," Eric Valli says, also with reference to living in harmony with nature." First-time feature film director, Eric Valli - who, from the time when he has lived in Nepal for seventeen years, was obviously interested himself in a profound compassion for the Dolpo region and its community - combines all the elements of art & photography: work of art, color and shade, light and darkness, the human experience. Eric Valli tells us an inimitable story with each photogram and has the talent to bring its rareness, dangers and splendor to the screen. In an outstanding film that manages to combine elements of Shakespeare with Ciné-Vérité and National Geographic, Eric Valli tells the story of Tinle… Dolpo (Nepal), present or whatever…yesterday or today… It is time that convoy to leave for humble Dolpo.
