Thank you to everyone who joined us for a Machik Film Screening in New York featuring Sacred Arrow by the late Pema Tseden, one of the greatest storytellers in Tibetan history.
The late Pema Tseden was born to a pastoralist family in Amdo and later became a school teacher who published bilingually to critical acclaim. He was the first Tibetan to graduate from the Beijing Film Academy and in 2005 his first feature film, Silent Holy Stones, won the prestigious Golden Rooster Award for Best Directorial Début. Since then, his many films, including Tharlo (2015) and Snow Leopard (2023), have won many awards around the world.
Sacred Arrow (2014), is a love story in Tibet about archery, expectations, and the meaning of winning in a time of change.
Date: Friday June 13
6:30pm Film Starts
8-8:30pm Discussion
Venue: Himalayan Library, 76-11 37th Ave, Jackson Heights, NYC
Machik is deeply honored to have worked with Pema Tseden for many years. He was the first Machik Weekend keynote speaker from Tibet, and also screened a film and spoke at Machik's 2013 Summer Enrichment Program in Amdo, Tibet.
The screening was free and donations will benefit Tibetan filmmakers and make more screenings possible. We were truly grateful to the Himalayan Library for their support in providing the space. Thank you to all who attended and helped make this gathering possible.
