Movie

Tibet revisited

2005

Slow, quiet, and observational, it asks you to sit with long still images and notice small details of daily life.

Directed by: Manfred Neuwirth
Genres: Documentary

Overview: Composed of 28 static-camera scenes from everyday (occupied)-Tibetan life, each picture (without narration) a "narrative" lasting several minutes, these 28 views explore the contradictions between the traditional way of life and modernism's obvious invasion of Tibet.
