Journey to the East: Video Time Capsules From Asia

VIEW EVENT DETAILS  

PLEASE NOTE: This event will be held at WeWork Dumbo Heights at 81 Prospect Street in Brooklyn.


Asia Society and Jungles in Paris invite you to a fun and edifying evening that will take you to some of the most far-flung and fascinating locations in Asia. Short video and photo presentations will focus on griffon vultures and the Tibetan sky burial, marriage rituals of Southeast Asia’s semi-nomadic “Sea Gypsies,” a profile of a 150-year-old sake brewery in Japan, and more. Some of the filmmakers and photographers will be on hand to discuss their work. Mingling is encouraged — snacks and adult beverages will be served.

Confirmed presenters:

Erik Shirai (excerpt from documentary Birth of Sake)
Russell O. Bush (short documentary Vultures of Tibet)
Jennifer Pastore (photos from Son Doong Cave in Vietnam)

Also showing:

Excerpt from Olivia Owens Wyatt's film Sailing A Sinking Sea

FREE ADMISSION. RSVP REQUIRED.
