Mystic Mountain is a fiction drama about a young Tibetan warrior searching for his father’s dead body who finds himself entangled with a deadly sorcerer.
Nevada City LIVE! and Sierra Friends of Tibet are pleased to be collaborating to bring this film to local audiences. A percentage of the ticket price is being donated to Sierra Friends of Tibet to help pay the expenses for bringing the Tibetan Monks to our community every January. The Tibetan Monks will be in attendance and make a blessing for the Nevada Theater and everyone attending before the film.
Mystic Mountain was shot high in the Himalayas in the Mustang region of Nepal, an area whose surrounding environment and village architecture (as well as many fascinating local faces) evoke the rich cultural history of Tibet. Originally, this area was part of the kingdom of Tibet and many Tibetans live there. This incredibly beautiful and historic place provides a incredibly dramatic backdrop for this epic story.
Tsering Dhondup, writer and director of Mystic Mountain was born in Lhasa, Tibet, and fled over the Himalayas with his father to India. He currently lives in the San Jose, California and works as a translator of Buddhist teachings.
