Holding Fast

2008. USA. 12 mins. Directed by Mary Harron & John C. Walsh. Produced by Randall Woolf, Mary Harron & John C. Walsh.

Holding Fast is a reflective essay on landscape, people, and work at a self-help center in Darjeeling, India, for Tibetan refugees. Lush images are accompanied by expressive music, edited together with sensitivity and lyricism. Violinist Jennifer Choi interprets the score by composer Randall Woolf. As the last notes and images fade from the screen, they linger memorably in the mind. NK
