Vikalp@Prithvi - Online Screenings - Week 70 Gaurav Jani, a young, dedicated motorcyclist and self-made multiple award-winning filmmaker, shockingly passed away last year. He was a great friend and supporter of Vikalp. Watch two films celebrating his life and work and send your questions for Sankalp Meshram (who won the IDPA Best Editing Award for 'Riding Solo') by Sunday midnight.  The link to watch Film 1 - https://youtu.be/NMtVxPafCCk  The link to watch Film 2 - https://youtu.be/FVTQwF9VQKk  Film 1 - 'Riding Solo to the Top of the World' is the unique experience of a lonesome traveler, who rides his motorcycle all the way from Mumbai to one of the remotest places in the World, the Changthang Plateau, in Ladakh, bordering China. Situated at an average altitude of 15,000 feet, Changthang covers almost 30,000 square kilometers of Ladakh A land devoid of roads and with temperatures which dip to minus 40 degree Celsius in winter. As a one-man film unit, he astonishes you, filming the landscape he passes by and the people he interacts with, capturing moments of beauty, pain, love, hardship, self doubt and spiritual triumphs. As a city slicker, his interaction with the nomads of the region, the Chang pas, who live at the highest altitude used by mankind in the world, teaches him a new perspective on life, as does the religious fervor he encounters. The Hemis festival that comes once in twelve years, the Tashi Choling monastery where the Chang pas pray to the Rain God and the ever-changing life of the Chang pas, have all been shot in all their splendor and festivity. The man and his camera travels even beyond the realm of practicality as he films the monastery at Chumur, the very first time a camera has ever entered the said monastery. 'Riding Solo to the Top of the World', in essence, is a film about a journey that begins as an adventure and ends with the man, Gaurav Jani, seeking the person within. Film 2 - 'Remembering Gaurav Jani' was made in memory of Gaurav by Sankalp Meshram. --- To sign up for our weekly emailers or WhatsApp Broadcast List: www.bit.ly/vikalpform Facebook page - www.fb.com/VikalpAtPrithvi Twitter page - www.twitter.com/Vikalp_Prithvi Instagram page - www.instagram.com/vikalpscreenings Telegram channel - http://t.me/vikalpscreenings

Real wonderful !  ... Thanks @Rosamma Thomas 

Although, only on the way, I just reached Tanglangla ...  Even to that it's awesome... and

invites to go to the Top, and in Solo, and Soon. Sure!

Picturesque, photography also self-managed - makes it a master-piece ... to me it's a new experience.

Remember Gaurav Jani. 🙏
