Please join us for:
A free screening of Leaving Fear Behind, the film produced by imprisoned Tibetan filmmaker Dhondup Wangchen will kickstart the festival Friday night.
Saturday night - not to be missed! - a special community screening of the revolutionary new film The Sun Behind the Clouds by Tenzing Sonam and Ritu Sarin. This documentary on the Tibetan freedom struggle - featuring Students for a Free Tibet's former Executive Director Lhadon Tethong - is the film the Chinese government doesn't want the world to see, so don't miss this opportunity to see it in Toronto! One screening only at 9pm. Jamyang Norbu, acclaimed Tibetan writer and activist, also featured in the film, will be in attendance for the screening.
Also on Saturday evening, don't miss: Fire Under the Snow. Director Makato Sasa tells the story of Palden Gyatso's incredible resilience - a Tibetan monk who spent 33 years in prison for "the crimes" of peaceful demonstration.
Award-winning Tibetan films such as Unmistaken Child, the two-part Emmy Award winning film series Women of Tibet, and A Song for Tibet, a film that tells the dramatic story of the efforts by the Tibetan-Canadian community to save their homeland and preserve their heritage against overwhelming odds, with special guest speaker Dicki Chhoyang.
