Between Time: A Tibetan Village in Nepal*
- 1984 ----- color ----- 20 min ----- 16mm
- Portrays Tibetan village life on the southern slopes of the Himalaya in northeast Nepal. The people strongly reflect their Tibetan origins, but date their departure from Tibet over 400 years ago. Little of the modern world has affected these people. Tells the story of Teliene, a Buddhist Lama and village elder and his nephew, a shaman, as they conduct an exorcism ceremony which blends Lamaism (Tibetan Buddhism) and Bon (a form of animistic shamanism). Shows how these seemingly opposite forms of religious expression work in complementary and harmonious ways. (Restricted to use by institutions of Higher Education in Washington state only)
