Shangri-La: Paradise Under Construction
Streaming video - 2022
In this essayistic travelogue Mirka Duijn ventures to the mountains of Tibetan-China to explore the history of the image of Shangri-La - the famous, imaginary paradise from James Hilton’s novel, ‘Lost Horizon’ (1933). Two decades ago, Deqin, a Tibetan region in China, uncovered evidence proving that the region itself was the original Shangri-La of legend. This rich and complex story follows Mirka’s quest to find answers, only resulting in an entanglement of facts and fictions, truths and lies.
