I&#8217;m intrigued by &#8220;good and bad&#8221; and whether it&#8217;s possible for us to see goodness in a character, despite their morally questionable behaviour. I wish to create subtle emotional narratives that leave an open question in the hearts of the viewer.<\/p>\n<p>Through the sudden death of the main character, this film will explore the Buddhist idea of &#8220;the bardo&#8221; (post-death) experience through rich magical realism, creative storytelling, and symbolism. This film will poke holes in our solid belief of a truly existing self and the concepts we cultivate to build the world around us. The experience at the time of death is nothing other than what we experience in every single moment. The film will encourage us to let go at every moment.<\/p>\n<p>Visually, I&#8217;m deeply inspired by the work of the great filmmaker Yasujir\u014d Ozu in his use of colour and wide-angle, long-shot cinema. Films like Tokyo Story allow the energy and magical elements of a city to come to life while focusing on an in-depth narrative of one person&#8217;s struggle. I want to create visuals that give room to breathe in the frame, providing a richer experience of the story. Bhutan is a stunning and vibrant country \u2014 endlessly cinematic.<\/p>\n<p>I have also been thinking of ways to promote and nurture art and film in my home country of Bhutan. I have decided to make this film almost entirely utilising the raw talent and ambitious energy of a group of young creatives in Bhutan who are interested in coming together to build this story with me. We will bring on a few professionals to help mentor the rest of the aspiring filmmakers. It is my hope to plant the seed of the joy of the creative process and confidence into these young artists, to have the chance to accomplish what would otherwise have seemed impossible for them.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-9 fusion_builder_column_1_1 1_1 fusion-flex-column\" style=\"--awb-bg-size:cover;--awb-width-large:100%;--awb-margin-top-large:20px;--awb-spacing-right-large:1.92%;--awb-margin-bottom-large:20px;--awb-spacing-left-large:1.92%;--awb-width-medium:100%;--awb-order-medium:0;--awb-spacing-right-medium:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-medium:1.92%;--awb-width-small:100%;--awb-order-small:0;--awb-spacing-right-small:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-small:1.92%;\" data-scroll-devices=\"small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-column-has-shadow fusion-flex-justify-content-flex-start fusion-content-layout-column\"><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-16\"><h4>PRINT SOURCE<\/h4>\n<p>Druksel Dorji<br \/>\n<a href=\"mailto:drukseldorji@gmail.com\">drukseldorji@gmail.com<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-fullwidth fullwidth-box fusion-builder-row-4 fusion-flex-container has-pattern-background has-mask-background nonhundred-percent-fullwidth non-hundred-percent-height-scrolling\" style=\"--awb-border-sizes-bottom:1px;--awb-border-radius-top-left:0px;--awb-border-radius-top-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-left:0px;--awb-flex-wrap:wrap;\" id=\"between-winter-and-spring\" ><div class=\"fusion-builder-row fusion-row fusion-flex-align-items-flex-start fusion-flex-content-wrap\" style=\"max-width:1248px;margin-left: calc(-4% \/ 2 );margin-right: calc(-4% \/ 2 );\"><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-10 fusion_builder_column_2_3 2_3 fusion-flex-column\" style=\"--awb-padding-top:100px;--awb-bg-size:cover;--awb-border-color:#e2e2e2;--awb-border-style:solid;--awb-width-large:66.666666666667%;--awb-margin-top-large:0px;--awb-spacing-right-large:2.88%;--awb-margin-bottom-large:20px;--awb-spacing-left-large:2.88%;--awb-width-medium:66.666666666667%;--awb-order-medium:0;--awb-spacing-right-medium:2.88%;--awb-spacing-left-medium:2.88%;--awb-width-small:100%;--awb-order-small:0;--awb-spacing-right-small:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-small:1.92%;\" data-scroll-devices=\"small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-column-has-shadow fusion-flex-justify-content-flex-start fusion-content-layout-column\"><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-17\"><h1>BETWEEN WINTER AND SPRING<\/h1>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-18 fusion-no-medium-visibility fusion-no-large-visibility\" style=\"--awb-font-size:80%;\"><h3>PREMIERING ON<br \/>\n27 September | 4:20 pm<br \/>\nPLQ Hall 1<\/h3>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-19 fusion-no-medium-visibility fusion-no-large-visibility\"><p>* This film will be presented together with <em>Agent of Happiness<\/em> in the same screening session.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-separator fusion-no-medium-visibility fusion-no-large-visibility fusion-full-width-sep\" style=\"align-self: center;margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;margin-top:10px;width:100%;\"><\/div><div ><a class=\"fusion-button button-flat button-large button-default fusion-button-default button-3 fusion-button-span-yes fusion-button-default-type fusion-no-medium-visibility fusion-no-large-visibility\" style=\"--button_margin-bottom:15px;\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.eventbrite.sg\/e\/1584208312709?aff=oddtdtcreator\"><span class=\"fusion-button-text awb-button__text awb-button__text--default\">Buy Tickets<\/span><\/a><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-20 fusion-no-medium-visibility fusion-no-large-visibility\"><p><strong>Ticket price: S$16 nett<\/strong><br \/>\n<small>(all charges included)<\/small><\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-separator fusion-no-medium-visibility fusion-no-large-visibility fusion-full-width-sep\" style=\"align-self: center;margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;margin-top:20px;width:100%;\"><\/div><div class=\"fusion-video fusion-youtube\" style=\"--awb-max-width:1280px;--awb-max-height:720px;--awb-align-self:center;--awb-width:100%;\"><div class=\"video-shortcode\"><div class=\"fluid-width-video-wrapper\" style=\"padding-top:56.25%;\" ><iframe title=\"YouTube video player 2\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/UV7hwb_ieIw?wmode=transparent&autoplay=0\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" allowfullscreen allow=\"autoplay;

We feel it\u2019s important to show the deep human dramas behind everyday events, the dynamics of relationships, the hidden, invisible faces of desires, dreams and fears. In our films, we often deal with the meeting of cultures, identities, values and patterns. We are attracted to these stories, to intimate life situations where, by bridging the cultural difference, we can show the familiar in the other, the universal values, the feelings that connect us, wherever we grow up in the world. <em>Agent of Happiness<\/em> is a bittersweet tale that takes place in an environment which is still enigmatic and untouched, disguised from the eyes of a wider world. We believe that it is also important to produce stories with uplifting, heart-warming potential in difficult times, that this is one of our responsibilities as artists.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div

compassion?<\/em><\/p>\n<p>As a struggling young boy, Lobsang Phuntsok was sent to a Tibetan Buddhist monastery \u2014 a life-changing process that helped him heal and find his purpose.<\/p>\n<p>After years as a spiritual teacher in the United States, he felt called to return to his birthplace in the remote Indian Himalayas to create \u2018Jhamtse Gatsal\u2019 (Tibetan for \u2018The Garden of Love and Compassion&#8217;) a home for wounded children like himself. This community is inspired by His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama\u2019s lifelong commitment to compassion and today remains a living example of how pain can be transformed into love.<\/p>\n<p><em>Loving Karma<\/em> incorporates and expands the Emmy-winning short film <em>Tashi and the Monk<\/em> (last screened during THISBFF 2016) into a feature-length documentary by returning to Jhamtse Gatsal twelve years later and picking up the stories of Lobsang, Tashi and the new arrivals she is learning to care for.
