Eric Valli

Éric Valli was born in 1952 in Dijon. A cabinetmaker in the Côte-d'Or, he left that trade in the mid-seventies for the Himalayas, then settled in Nepal, where he lived for many years. A photographer for National Geographic and other major press titles, he followed the Gurung honey hunters, a report that received a World Press prize, and the salt caravans of Dolpo, which he accompanied several times. From these years he drew books and documentaries, before moving on to fiction with this film, his first feature.
