Valley of Flowers - Rescheduled

For those of you who attended the screening of Pan Nalin’s Valley Of Flowers, we apologize for the cancellation which took place due to an unforseen projector malfunction. Please note that the screening has been rescheduled now, in the same large theater #10 (no glitches this time!) as follows:

Saturday, April 21 - 3:30 p.m.

Please make sure you bring your ticket stub from last night. You do not have to buy a new ticket. They will let you in with the same one. Most of the attendees who caught a sneak peak at the opening were quite awed by the visuals. It is a terrific, visually mesmerizing effort by one of India’s most successful directors of crossover cinema. We look forward to having you all back there. Please help spread the word!

Saturday, April 21 - 3:30 p.m.

VALLEY OF FLOWERS
India-Germany-France /2006/155 min/35mm
US Premiere

Director: Pan Nalin
Producer: Claudia Steffen
Screenwriters: Pan Nalin
Cinematographer: Michael Englert
Production Designer: Petra Barchi
Editor: Sylvie Gadmer

Jalan and his gang of bandits earn their living raiding the property of unsuspecting travelers along the mountain passes of the Himalayan Silk Route. Their brotherhood is bound by their code of honor and a collective will to rise above their humble origins. From a caravan raid, the beautiful and mysterious Ushna emerges with her sights set on Jalan - a man she claims to have seen in her dreams. Her presence fills the bandits’ encampment with unease. To calm tensions Ushna promises to guide them to untold riches on the condition that they never question her methods. With every successful exploit, she earns their trust and Jalan’s love. But as Jalan and Ushna’s love intensifies, their thirst for wealth expands beyond the material into a mystical realm that threatens to consume them entirely and leave every soul they encounter in disarray and despair.

Life has served as filmmaker Pan Nalin’s film school and with this his second narrative feature film he delivers an exceptional love story that transcends international boundaries, time and the wildest of imaginations. VALLEY OF FLOWERS is a fantastical epic film with all of the markings of a modern masterpiece.

Hindi and Japanese (English subtitles)

Presented by the Coalition of Asian Pacifics in Entertainment (CAPE)

    vijay, did this get sold out? the arclight website doesn’t let us buy tix..

  5. Vijay on April 19th, 2007 1:05 pm

    ArcLight is still in the process of updating the website to include the re-scheduled screening. Check end of day today or tomorrow. It’s a little complicated because most of the tickets were sold out last night, and those people can use the same tickets for this one. But we don’t know how many of them will necessarily return. Just wait till EOD. If you still cant book, then call me and I will talk to ArcLight.

    the theme music on trailor does sound like ‘requiem for a dream’ or ‘the fountain’ rehash.. is the story same too as the fountain. anybody who has seen both would know better.

  12. sg on May 2nd, 2007 12:06 pm

    valley of flowers disappoints me.. i went back to requiem for a dream.. theme music is really lifted from there. the story looks similar to fountain..
