Sinopsis

This travel film takes the viewer to the northern part of Rajasthan. After a quick day tour in New Delhi and its surroundings we visit the magnificently painted havelis of Shekhawati, in Jhunjhunu, Mandawa and Fatehpur, an area that used to be one of the most prosperous parts of India. From there we visit Bikaner with its impressive fort, maybe the most beautiful in Rajasthan, and the city's Jain temples ending the tour with remarkable traditional music and dance in Kuri village right outside of Jaisalmer.

Given
A young family leaves their home on Kauai. It is time to return to the itinerant path from which all things in their uncommon lives come; beginning and ending on a remote dot in the Pacific. They nomadically trace continents to places where waves meet their edges, envoys of aloha. It is what they will learn, what they bring others, what they will pass on to their children in the hyper-expanded classroom, the lab of direct being; a legacy passed from a father to his family.
A Valparaiso
Es la noche de Año Nuevo en Valparaíso. Todos los barcos y calles centrales están especialmente iluminados. Pero en los cerros que circundan el centro de la estrecha ciudad hay pobreza para sus habitantes. Ellos viven trasladándose en viejos ascensores o remitiéndose a subir y bajar interminables escaleras, transportando el agua. Mientras tanto, los ricos se divierten, ignorándolos. Se narra la historia de Valparaíso, "el valle del paraíso", lugar alguna vez dominado por conquistadores y piratas que también enfrenta a los elementos naturales: el mar, el sol, el viento y el fuego.
The Inland Sea
In 1971, author and film scholar Donald Richie published a poetic travelogue about his explorations of the islands of Japan’s Inland Sea, recording his search for traces of a traditional way of life as well as his own journey of self-discovery. Twenty years later, filmmaker Lucille Carra undertook a parallel trip inspired by Richie’s by-then-classic book, capturing images of hushed beauty and meeting people who still carried on the fading customs that Richie had observed. Interspersed with surprising detours—a visit to a Frank Sinatra–loving monk, a leper colony, an ersatz temple of plywood and plaster—and woven together by Richie’s narration as well as a score by celebrated composer Toru Takemitsu, The Inland Sea is an eye-opening voyage and a profound meditation on what it means to be a foreigner.

Escritor, guionista, monologuista, actor de teatro y performance, Spalding Gray rememora en esta obra su experiencia como actor de reparto, en el papel de cónsul, en la película “Los gritos del silencio”; la perturbadora denuncia de la trágica y sangrienta historia contemporánea de Camboya. Spalding Gray tiene un gran currículo como actor de reparto en el cine y la televisión americana. Es sin embargo una peculiar figura de la escena teatral alternativa de Nueva York. Sus peripecias vitales también han dado como fruto monólogos filmados como en “Gray´s Anatomy”. En algo más de una hora, en “Nadando a Camboya”, tras un escritorio y con la ayuda de un mapa de Camboya y un proyector desgrana su experiencia y sus reflexiones de y sobre el sudeste asiático. Para la banda sonora contó con la colaboración de la cantautora y compositora Laurie Anderson.
