- DirectorHuaqing JinA work of visual awe and matter-of-fact spiritual inquiry, Dark Red Forest is a majestic documentary portrait that details the annual retreat of thousands of Tibetan nuns to small wooden houses on the vast Tibetan Plateau.

A document of the experiences of a group of increasingly politically embattled people, Jin Huaqing's film is also a clarifying work of faith and philosophical inquiry, set against a forbidding landscape.
