The first Tibet Film Festival to be held in Singapore on Saturday and Sunday is already booked out. However, those interested can register on the waiting list online.

Organised by Tibetan social innovation non-profit organisation Machik, the festival, which is free, will premiere four films here at The Projector, including The Sacred Arrow (2014) by Pema Tseden, widely considered the leading Tibetan film-maker today.

The festival was conceived to highlight Tibetan culture and practices to a wider audience.

Says Machik co-founder Losang Rabgey: “We’ve screened films before, but never as part of an entire festival. We are very excited to hold this in Singapore, which is a globalised country in Asia, with people from around the world.

“The response is so good that people from the United States and even India have been contacting us to hold one there too.”
