'A thought-provoking glimpse of Tibet'
| A week-long Tibetan Film Festival kicked off at the Choe Khor Sum Ling Centre (Three turnings of the wheel of dharma) recently. A combination of 16 films and documentaries to be screened till May 19th 2009 will explore Tibet’s timeless spiritual and cultural traditions and its troubled political history. | |
| The festival premiered with a documentary called The Tibetans: A Life In Exile by Robb Bradstock. This documentary examined the difficulties confronting the Tibetans in exile as they struggle to adapt to the increasing intrusion of the modern world. It also showcases the lifestyle of monks and nuns who wish to give up everything to preserve their culture. Filmed in the colourful town of Dharamshala in the Himalayas, this documentary powerfully illustrates the growing conflict between the traditional Tibetan culture and encroaching outside influences. The documentary also featured the Dalai Lama and several other prominent community figures who spoke with passion and conviction about the gravity of the situation and the hope for their future. The documentary set a good tone and a background for the next movie, Kundun by Martin Scorsese, which also pulled in a lot of people. Portraying the Dalai Lama as the fourteenth incarnation of Buddha, this classic, is the biography of the young Dalai Lama and his struggle. |
