    Three Kumaris, or "living goddesses," of Katmandu Valley go about their ritualized lives against the backdrop of the agitations that marked the April 2006 People's Movement. Long sought for annual blessings by Nepal's monarchy, the Kumaris suddenly find themselves caught amidst a fight to define the country's future. The film spends extra time with Sajani Shakya, the precocious, camera-friendly Kumari of Bhaktapur, who went on a trans-Atlantic visit that made news in the summer of 2007.
    Nepal, 2006/07, directed by Ishbel Whitaker; 96 minutes.

    The Traveling Film South Asia Festival, a three-day film festival, is composed of 13 documentaries covering such diverse topics as politics, art, culture, globalization, natural disasters, environment, gender, urbanization, labor relations, the Partition, entertainment and history and features films from Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka.

    Sponsored by International Programs, Asian Studies and the I.D.E.A. Space.
