Film: The Sweet Requiem

Saturday, April 18, 2020, 4:30 – 6pm **This event has been cancelled.** In conjunction with the Festival of Tibet, the Brisbane Himalayan Film Festival will feature the Queensland premiere of a new film entitled The Sweet Requiem, an impressive narrative feature by Dharamshala-based doco team Ritu Sarin and Tenzing Sonam. The guiding Buddhist notion of impermanence plays a central role in the story of Dolkar, a young woman who embarked on a perilous trek to India with her father when she was a girl. Now firmly part of Delhi's large Tibetan community, Dolkar is helping Gompo, a recent arrival fleeing Chinese security forces in Lhasa. Slowly, Dolkar recognises Gompo as the guide who abandoned her group on a treacherous Himalayan path all those years ago. But is this really him?
