Beans and Belief

Docudrama, U.S.A., 17min
Tibetan & Mandarin, shot in Lhasa, Tibet on 16mm and digital.

Phurbu and Droga make a living by selling beans; they drift through time as they witness the changes in Lhasa. A hybrid of documentary and narrative featuring non-professional actors playing themselves, the film creates a meditative cinematic space where reality and the surreal overlap.
