TIBET IN HARLEM 2: Origins
March. 14th - 20th
Presented by The Modern Tibetan Studies Program at Columbia University,
Maysles Cinema, Machik and the Kham Film Project
Tibet in Harlem 2: Origins is the second annual series of Tibetan and Tibet-related films at the Maysles Cinema in Harlem. This year’s program showcases a collection of rarely screened early films – both documentary and fiction – by some of the most important Tibetan and Chinese filmmakers working in Tibet today.
Two of the filmmakers in the series, Padma Tseten and Rigdan Gyatso, will be traveling from Tibet to be in attendance. Padma Tseten is the first Tibetan filmmaker in China to shoot 35mm feature films, and his works are entirely in Tibetan language. |
Ticketing and a full schedule coming soon!

"HEAVEN UP IN HARLEM"
"Located on Lenox Ave between 127th and 128th Streets, this cozy spot programs a reliably eye-opening lineup where... during any given week, you might catch rousing hip-hop and reggae films, complete with musical guests like Schooly D; a panel discussion about Times Square, starring a zonked-out sex performer from Gotham’s sleazy glory days; and must-see rarities like Demon Lover Diary and The Police Tapes. Co-curated by Philip [Maysles] and Jessica Green, the Maysles Cinema has become a source of temptation for the adventurous, a boon for uptown residents and a well of regrets for cinephiles too lazy to trek uptown."
