Asian Heritage Month Screening of "The Saltmen of Tibet" May 14, 2011

Celebrate Asian Heritage Month with the New York Public Library and the Jacques Marchais Museum of Tibetan Art! Join us for a screening of “The Saltmen of Tibet,” by Ulrike Koch. Shot under extreme conditions in one of the world’s most remote and beautiful locations, “The Saltmen of Tibet,” documents the ancient traditions and daily rituals of a Tibetan nomadic community and transports us into a realm untainted by the tide of foreign invasion or encroaching modernity. Step by step, we follow the unforgettable, annual three month pilgrimage to the holy salt lake of Northern Tibet. Admission is FREE! For more details, please contact the Jacques Marchais Museum of Tibetan Art at 718-987-3500 and visit www.tibetanmuseum.org
