Breathtaking, poignant and mesmerizing, the big screen movie Manakamana is a documentary shot entirely inside the narrow bubble of a cable car, high above a jungle in Nepal, as it transports villagers and tourists to an ancient mountaintop temple. Filmed in 16mm and comprised of 11 rides (each a single take corresponds to the length of a roll of film), Manakamana is a character study of its passengers and a window onto the lush, rolling landscape of a country in transition from ancient tradition to modernity.
