Dege Sutra-Printing House
Screened in the New Asian Current section of the 1993 Yamagata International Documentary Film Festival. Filmed at the Dege Sutra-Printing House in Dege County, Garze Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan Province, on the edge of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Known as the "shining pearl under the snow-capped mountains of Tibet," the Dege Sutra-Printing House (at the time this was shot) contains more than 400 books, 900 volumes, and nearly 270,000 printed documents, spanning Nyingma, Sakya, Bonbu, and Gelug sect classics and various other Tibetan Buddhist texts.
