Himalayan Herders

"Himalayan Herders is an intimate portrait of a temple-village in the Yolmo valley of Central Nepal where Tibetan Buddhists consult shamans, married life begins by kidnapping the bride, and the nearest road is a two-day walk away. The community drama of marriage, death, and rituals is juxtaposed with the rich texture of daily life, both in the village and the surrounding mountains and forest where these pastoralists herd zomo, a cross between a cow and a yak, which thrives in middle altitude pastures between 8,000 and 14,000 feet. Cultural change, in the form of a government primary school, incorporation into a national park, and circular migration for wage labor outside Nepal, is discussed by residents in interviews. A twenty-five-year-long collaboration between an ethnographer and a documentary filmmaker, the film provides rich material for examining gender, cultural change, religion, pastoralism, South Asia, and the cultural ecology and economics of mountain populations."

Ausangate

"This film documents the lives of Quechua people who live around Ausangate, a sacred peak in southeastern Peru. Four Quechua people's stories are told against a backdrop of high Andean lakes and mountains showing a harsh existence possible only through a strong symbiotic relationship to their alpacas and llamas. The film includes women revitalizing weaving techniques within mother's clubs, first haircutting rites of passage, and the annual pilgrimage of Qoyllur Rit'I, which occurs annually near Ausangate - drawing participants from distinct communities throughout Peru and Bolivia. Faced with the pressures of modernization, Quechuas are confronted with choices about whether to move to the cities in search of jobs and educations - thus separating themselves from nature and from Ausangate - or to continue in a lifestyle that has sustained them for centuries. Theirs is a story of change incorporated onto a bedrock of tradition that is dynamic and capable of adaptation. The intention is to show how they make decisions about staying or leaving and what they choose from the outside world to incorporate into their isolated world."
