Event
"The Silent Holy Stones" + Q&A with director Padma Tseten
The Silent Holy Stones
(Dir. Padma Tseten, 2005, 102 min., Directors first feature.)
Tibetan with English subtitles.
The debut feature from the preeminent Tibetan filmmaker working today. The Silent Holy Stones is a restrained, unhurried story of a 10-year old Tibetan monk who has the chance to spend a few days at New Year with his family in their village a day's horse-ride away. The boy's journey to his village and back to the monastery bring to light the intertwined forces of westernization and consumerism that are a powerful presence even in a small Tibetan farming community.
Introduced by Kevin Lee of dGenerate Films and followed by Q&A with filmmaker Padma Tseten.
Co-presented by dGenerate Films.
