Snow Leopard
Pema Tseden, Mainland China 2023, 109 Min., Tibetan, Mandarin with English subtitles
Voices from Tibetan Wilds
Berlin Premiere
In the breathtaking landscape of the Tibetan plateau, a gripping narrative unfolds: a father and son clash over whether to kill a snow leopard that broke into their home and killed nine sheep. Snow Leopard is the final work of Pema Tseden, a revered figure in Tibetan cinema who passed away in May 2023. This Tibetan-language drama explores the symbiotic relationship between humans and animals, brought to life through the fantastical interaction between a young Tibetan monk and the leopard. It stands as a powerful testament to Pema Tseden’s masterful storytelling and his profound insights into Tibetan-Chinese relations in contemporary China. (CL)
