Manakamana is a documentary recording the transient conveyance of Nepali pilgrims in a cable car on the way to their sacred temple. Watchers can get a taste of the local way of life and thought through how the passengers talk and interact with each other. From the perspective of methodology, this film is a postmodern experiment of sensory ethnography. It challenges the vision-oriented tradition of anthropological documentaries and blurs the boundary between subjects (the viewers) and objects (the locals). By putting emphasis on vision and hearing, the question we can take away from this film is: how much can we perceive ourselves and the world through our senses?

缆车来来去去，上面坐着人。
颅内马杀鸡
11趟乘客的顺序安排很妙，喜欢男女老少不同的游客组合（好奇footages到底拍了多少、怎么选的），山间的森林成为了天然的动态画布。羊群那一趟太适合做结尾了，不过放在中间也蛮有趣的，像某个超现实的顿号。
确实很有sel的感觉。密闭的缆车空间与窗外的风景、有声与无声、朝拜者与游客的种种对比很有意思。尼泊尔的缆车仿佛像是城市中的地铁。（stephanie spray下学期在学校开课，现在变得很想去上..）
怎么说呢 训练下心态
很好的想法和创意，但！！也太长了！
