Bringing Tibet Home - ON SALE NOW - Sunday 25th Jan 16:15 - Get your tickets now -> bit.ly/1Kmlhv3 Bringing Tibet Home is the deeply personal debut feature documentary by Tibetan filmmaker Tenzin Tsetan Choklay. The film follows, from start to finish, the New York based Tibetan contemporary artist Tenzing Rigdol while he creates his most ambitious installation yet: The Soil Project. Inspired by his fathers dying wish, to once again set foot on Tibetan soil, Rigdol sought to transport native soil from Tibet through Nepal to Dharamsala, India, heart of the Tibetan exile community and home to His Holiness the Dalai Lama. Choklay films Rigdols physical and emotional journey to overcome seemingly insurmountable challenges as he navigates the border controls of three countries to smuggle out 20 tons of Tibetan soil. The aim was to create a truly unique installation that would bring a piece of Tibet to the heart of the Tibetan exile community and allow Tibetan exile to engage with the artwork with the inherent political and cultural connotations that the installation represented. Choklay’s account is a deeply inspiring portrait of human resilience at its most tested, and a profound example of enduring creativity through times of political turmoil. day-for-night.org/bringing-tibet-home
