En Selle: The Kyrgyz Ride
Join us for a one-night only screening of En Selle: The Kyrgyz Ride. Fascinated by the mysteries of the Silk Road, Ashley departs for Kyrgyzstan with a dream: one of galloping across the mythic steppes and Celestial Mountains of Central Asia.
Accompanied by her partner Quentin, they meet three Kyrgyz stallions, Fidel, Tian and Chai, with whom they’ll share the road to their final destination: Karakol, in the far east of the country, 1000 miles away. Alone, faced with the immensity of the steppe, the team must navigate high-altitude mountain passes, snow, deserts, and rivers to accomplish their expedition.
Narrated by Ashley, this 52-minute film gives us a peek into an ancestral way of seeing the world: one where a group of humans and horses discover a timeless land together. Light refreshments provided, donations appreciated.
