To:
World Tibet Day (July 6, 2009)
On the occasion of international observance of World Tibet Day,
Friends of Tibet will screen Martin Scorscese's highly acclaimed film
'Kundun' on Monday, July 6, 2009 at the Max Mueller Bhavan, Kala
Ghoda, Next to Jahangir Art Gallery, Bombay at 6pm. Entrance is free
to all.
Kundun (1997; Duration: 120 min; Direction: Martin Scorsese): Martin
Scorsese's internationally acclaimed Kundun, is based on the life of
the Dalai Lama. 'Kundun' literally means 'presence.' It traces the
story of Tenzin Gyatso, the XIV Dalai Lama of Tibet, from his divine
recognition as a two-and-a-half-year-old child to the day when Tibet
was invaded by the Chinese Red Army in 1959, forcing him to live in
exile in Dharamshala. The film charts the extraordinary growth of
Dalai Lama from a giggling child into a world leader who raised the
global consciousness about the Buddhist society, and the plight of
Tibet and its people. The film has an evocative music score by Philip
Glass. Scorsese was forced to film in Morocco after the Chinese
authorities refused him permission to enter Tibet.
World Tibet Day: Founded in 1998 by Richard Rosenkranz, a Pulitzer
Prize nominee in history, World Tibet Day was created with three main
goals: first to create an annual worldwide event to help restore
essential freedoms for those living in Chinese occupied Tibet; second
to increase awareness of the genocidal threats to the Tibetan people;
and third, to celebrate the unique beauty and value of Tibetan culture
and thought. World Tibet Day has grown into one of the most important
events on the Tibetan calendar. The event is held on July 6 - birthday
of His Holiness the XIV Dalai Lama.
Friends of Tibet will observe World Tibet Day across the country with
various programmes highlighting the issue of Tibet. To know more call:
