The Epic of Everest with an Introduction, Prologue and final Blessing by the Monks

In 1924, an extraordinary silent film was made by Captain John Noel documenting the ill-fated attempt at the summit of Mount Everest by climbers George Mallory and Sandy Irvine. To promote 'The Epic of Everest', Captain Noel invited Buddhist monks from Tibet to travel to the west for the very first time to perform their magical masked dance and sacred music. From December 1924 to October 1925, the monks toured England, Scotland, Wales, and Ireland, and visited France, Germany, and Austria, offering a prologue to screenings of the film. The screening is accompanied by a reconstruction of the original Prologue offered by the monks a hundred years ago, and concludes with a special blessing to mark the end of the presentation.DocumentaryPT1H27MU2026-07-13
