Shepherdess of Ladakh is filmed beautifully and today it will be presented in Pune, dont miss if you are in Pune

in #travel7 years ago

If you love the Himalaya.
And you live in Pune.
Please DO NOT MISS these two very sensitive and beautiful portrayals of Ladakh.
Today in Pune, the director, Stanzin Dorjai, will be present for Q&A after the screening.

I saw the Shepherdess of the Glaciers at the IMF Mountain Film Festival in Delhi this year.

It was the last and the longest film of the day and screened at the back of nine other movies.

The audience was visually exhausted and done for the day. Yet, this gem of a movie held the entire audience spellbound, with it's beautiful natural sounds, it's silence and it's slowness.

It actually let me live the life of the shepherdess, in the remotest parts of Ladakh.

I marvel at this connect I could make with her. I shared her bond with her transistor, playing All India Radio, her only connection with the outside world for months at end.

The movie is about existence.
It's about awe, joy, pain and faith.

Living 15,000 feet above sea level with her 300 goats, the lady, Tsering, is one of the last shepherdesses in the Gya-Maru valley of Ladakh, India.

She lives with her sheep.
She is several days walk away from any human settlement. For 11 months of the year.

As she leads her flock of 300 sheep and Pashmina goats to graze on the high Himalayan Plateaus in a dry and desolate landscape, Tsering is under the continuous threat of wolves and snow leopards.

Documented by her brother, Stanzin, over four seasons and several years, the film depicts both her world of icy loneliness and that unbreakable bond between humans and animals.

Stanzin Dorjai (Gya) is an award winning film maker from Ladakh and the founder of Himalayan Film House Leh.

‘When that leopard came snooping into my tent, I opted for out. There wasn't enough room for both of us!’

Film Descriptions:

• Jungwa
In 2010, severe rain induced by climate change devastated a remote area of Ladakh. A few years later, Stanzin Dorjai, a local filmmaker, returns to the affected areas to interview people and to talk about how global warming has changed their lives. Confronted with the incomprehension of a people who have always lived in harmony with their natural surroundings, this film shares with their worries and concerns. And it speaks to us about the spiritual relationship that has always bound them to nature.

Director: Stanzin Dorjai Gya, Christiane Mordelet
Special Jury Mention - Banff Mountain Film and Book Festival 2014

• The Shepherdess of the Glaciers
On a rock-strewn mountain, in Ladakh, lives shepherdess Tsering with her flock of 250 sheep and pashmina goats. We follow Tsering’s solitary movements over a year, from her home village to the high plateaus where she acts as midwife to her goats, warms batteries on a cooking pot and occasionally sings to herself and the surrounding landscape. Her only access to events in the outside world is via a small transistor radio and she faces the troubling presence of wolves and a snow leopard daily. Having turned 40, Tsering now finds the pastoral life physically challenging, while climate change is endangering her livestock. Packed with stunning images of the Gya-Miru Valley, The Shepherdess of the Glaciers reveals the ancestral wisdom of those Ladakhi shepherds whose environment and livelihoods are under severe threat.
