Stars of Gaomeigu

Stars of Gaomeigu - Where telescopes meet tales, the stars remember

High in the mountains at the Gaomeigu Observatory, the Naxi people gaze at the stars, where telescopes meet mythology.

This insightful documentary unfolds like a dreamscape, connecting past and present through the celestial lens. As local legends are reawakened by astronomy—a Leader who once fed his people, a warrior named Sanduo reborn as a city skater, and divine lovers tested by outside forces—the film reveals how science and storytelling coexist, evolve, and echo through time. It is a meditation on cultural memory, transformation, and the sky as a mirror of who we were and who we are becoming.
