Landmark's Nuart Theatre - Pawo Choyning Dorji In Person for Q&A!

Academy Award-nominated filmmaker Pawo Choyning Dorji (LUNANA: A YAK IN THE CLASSROOM) will appear in person at Landmark's Nuart Theatre on Friday and Saturday, August 15 and 16 for Q&As after the 7:30pm shows.

Somewhere deep in a reticent forest of Bhutan, there is a gathering every twelve years of men and women, especially chosen by the Old Man to enjoy a few days of anonymity. Faceless, the men and women participate in rituals, performances, and dances. Masked, the men and women are lascivious, playful, and dangerous. Expressionless attends this festival for the first time, and enters the experience like a newborn. He stumbles clumsily through his first few days, but quickly adapts. Then he spots Red Wrathful, and becomes intoxicated with desire for her. A desire that leads him down a path that totally consumes him. After twenty-four years of knowing the consequences of his actions, Expressionless returns to the festival to seek atonement. HEMA HEMA: SING ME A SONG is celebrated director Khyentse Norbu’s (The Cup, Travellers and Magicians, Vara: A Blessing) most personal film. A rich story is told without the excess of human conversation. Norbu uses masks, simple percussion instruments, and vivid Buddhist imagery as a mirror reflecting the fallibility of the human experience.
