Interviews

The inspiration for this film stems from the experiences of refugees and exiles, particularly Tibetans born in Tibet, who are in the diaspora, far from their families and the lands where they took their first steps. Where they have so many memories and established their earliest connections to nature. My partner, Tenzin Jigme and his friends who are from Tibet has inspired me greatly for this project. I plan to expand upon the concepts explored in this film and develop a more extensive version in the future.

Award-winning Tibetan writer and filmmaker, Pema Tseden, makes a stop in NYC along his US tour to discuss his English-language debut, Enticement: Stories of Tibet. Published in 2018 by SUNY Press and translated by Michael Monhart and Patricia Schiaffini-Vedani, this innovative work truly brings modern Tibetan Literature into the conversation.
