HIMALAYA FILM DAYS

Thank you to all the filmmakers – for your interest in these far away people and land! Thank you for bringing spirit of the Himalayas all the way here, to us! We enjoyed your films a lot. Humanness – this word could unite them.

Tashi Norbu hails from Bhutan, and Govinda Sah “Azad” , “Tene” Garbuja are from Nepal. All have trained both at home and in Europe, and the work of…each reflects a rich and diverse range of influences, from their native countries, from India, from Tibet,
from the sacred and the secular, and from their life experiences. British artist Tashi Mannox is also contributing work to the Exhibition. Trained in Tibetan calligraphy, his beautiful paintings combine classical iconography and script with modern sensibility.

Premila is a member of Satsang Productions http://www.satsangproducti​ons.com/ and she curated the art exhibitions’ part of the UK’s Himalaya Film and Cultural Festival.
Our Society of Himalayan Cultures (Himaalaja Kultuuride Selts) is connected tightly to the crowd of Satsang Productions by both friendship and common interests in presenting different aspects of the Himalayan cultural areas.

FLERA BIRMANIS – Flera Birmanis from Latvia http://www.saatchionline.c​om/flera she suites very well to the whole concept of the exhibition – the fusion of the Himalayan art and western art genres and techniques – geographically and professionally she has gone along the opposite way – from the West to the East.
