  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

• Daughters of Wisdom

  
  2007. USA. 68 mins. Directed by Bari Pearlman. Produced by Bari Pearlman.

  This contemplative and starkly beautiful film invites us into a Tibetan monastery, where the residents are not monks but nuns. Life for these women is austere, even difficult, but the richness they derive from their commitment and their grand surroundings is palpable in every frame. RR
