The Tibet Film Festival was founded in 2008, inspired by Dhondup Wangchen, a self-taught Tibetan filmmaker, who was imprisoned for his film ‘Leaving Fear Behind’. This 2-day film festival takes place simultaneously in Dharamsala (India) and Zurich (Switzerland), showcases films made by Tibetans inside Tibet and in exile.
One of the unique features of Tibet Film Festival is the short film competition segment, initiated in 2010, that has had a tremendous response from young Tibetan filmmakers across the world. The short film competition has grown to become a platform for young Tibetan filmmaker to show their talent and passion in filmmaking to a greater audience.
