(Lung Ta: Les cavaliers du vent)

Screening on Film

Directed by Marie Joual de Poncheville, Franz-Christoph Giercke.
France, 1991, 35mm, color, 86 min.
Narrated in English.

Exquisitely photographed images of one of the most splendid areas on earth are contrasted in the narration with the horrors inflicted on Tibet during forty years of Chinese occupation. The film is co-directed by Marie Joual de Poncheville, who was a guest of Harvard during the recent visit here of her companion, Abderrahmane Sissako. (She was under house arrest by the Chinese for two months when she made this documentary.)
