Kino Lorber - Himalaya

Filmed over seven months in the forbidden Dolpo region of Nepal, HIMALAYA tells the story of a generational struggle for the leadership of a tiny mountain village between it's proud old chief and a headstrong young caravan. The balance of power shifts uneasily as they make their annual salt trek across the Himalayas. A visually striking and spiritually captivating portrait of life in one of the world's most extraordinary places, HIMALAYA is both intense drama and a gorgeous tapestry of the fast disappearing traditions of Tibetan life. A huge box office hit worldwide, HIMALAYA remained on the VARIETY top film box office chart for over six months and was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Foreign Film.
