Ed Jocelyn's "Ten Thousand Rivers, One Thousand Mountains" tonight at 7:30 at the Pacific Cinematheque
February 26, 2009 | 528x

Ed Jocelyn presents a modern odyssey through China. In five years, he walked 8,000 miles from the lush forests of the south, across the great ranges, prairies and swamplands of Eastern Tibet, and into the arid “yellow earth” of China’s northwest territory. What began as a simple, if ambitious, piece of historical fieldwork became a tumultuous journey into the heart of a little-understood country. By turns welcomed, feted, shunned and arrested, Ed traveled through many areas never before visited by foreigners. Through pictures and stories, Ed pieces together a journey that began idealistically, passed through compulsion and self-destruction, and ended, possibly, in a kind of liberation. Also tonight on the same evening the following films will be screened: Journey of a Red Fridge (a story of a 17-year-old boy named Hari Rai and his extraordinary journey with the red fridge on his shoulders through the Himalayan Mountains of Nepal); Hope in the Himalayas (Short inspiring documentary about an orphanage in the mountains of Nepal); Komi, a Journey Across the Arctic (document of a perilous four-month journey of the most ancient indigenous people of Siberia with their 5,000 reindeer).
