| Summary |
Produced by the directors of SWEET GRASS and LEVIATHAN, MANAKAMANA is an exhilarating, one-of-a-kind documentary experience. Filmed entirely inside the narrow confines of a cable car, high above a jungle in Nepal, that transports villagers to an ancient mountaintop temple, it is an acute ethnographic investigation into culture, religion, technology and modernity. Nominated or the Truer than Fiction Award at the **Film Independent Spirit Awards.** Nominated for the Allan King Documentary Award at the **Toronto International Film Festival.** *"...simple in conception, but the reaction it evokes in viewers will be complex and multifaceted." - Kenneth Turan, **The Los Angeles Times*** *"By focusing on such a narrow slice of Nepali life, Ms. Spray and Mr. Velez have ceded any totalizing claim on the truth and instead settled for a perfect incompleteness." - Manohla Dargis, **The New York Times*** |
