Join us for a double screening - Mountain, Priest, Son + The Bell
Mountain, Priest, Son A short Himalayan documentary on the metaphysics and morality of risk in the face of socio-environmental change. Set in one of India’s most sacred and geologically fragile mountain landscapes, the film brings alive the everyday experiences, beliefs and hopes of a priest, his wife, and their 22-year-old son who survived a great flood not long ago. Through their story, we explore a traditional society’s understanding of its own vulnerability and resilience in the face of dramatic environmental change on the one hand and the rapid intrusion of modernity, urbanism and consumerism on the other.
