Dir. Yôko Yamanaka

The Sacred Arrow

Dir. Pema Tseden
96 min

A romantic, gorgeously shot, widescreen modern fable, this is a marked departure from Pema Tseden's usual stye. Handsome Nyima and brooding Dradon are ace archers from rival villages who vie in an annual contest for the ultimate prize, the Sacred Arrow.

Tharlo

Dir. Pema Tseden
123 min

Pema Tseden's most sublime film -- about a shepherd's disorienting trip to the town to acquire an ID card -- is a mesmerizing psychosexual study of masculinity in crisis, and a riveting exploration of social change.

Jinpa

Dir. Pema Tseden
