In celebration of the Folklife Festival’s focus on the Himalayan kingdom of Bhutan, the Freer Gallery of Art presents this cinematic fable by Khyentse Norbu, Bhutan’s most famous director and one of Himalayan Buddhism’s most revered lamas. “To watch this movie,” wrote Desson Thomson in the Washington Post, “is to be moved not only by an affecting, warmly spirited yarn, but also by the wisdom that seems to waft to us directly from those snow-capped peaks.” 2003 / 108 min. / in Dzongkha with English subtitles
Tshewang Dendup, the film’s star, and celebrated musician Sonam Dorji take audience questions after each screening.
Free tickets required.
