TUFS Cinema Screening of Masterpieces of Tibetan Films commemorating the release of “The River”

*This event has already been held.

This spring will be the first screening of Tibetan director Sonthar Gyal’s “River” in Japan. To mark the event, we will be screening several masterpieces of Tibetan film. Along with Sonthar Gyal’s debut work, “The Sun-Beaten Path”, as well as “The Search” and “Old Dog” (2011 Tokyo Filmex grand prize winner) directed by Pema Tseden, another Tibetan director who has been active on the international stage before Sonthar Gyal, we will be screening the documentary film “A Day in the Life of Tibetan Pastoralists”, which has gained high esteem in ‘Wisdom and Works of Tibetan Pastoralists’. All are valuable works which are rarely screened in Japan. We urge you to take the opportunity to view these films and gain a deep understanding of Tibetan culture.
