Fences / 3CM Toit du monde

Dans la région pastorale du plateau tibétain, quatre enfants se déguisent en Xuanzang et en ses disciples pour partir à la quête des écritures bouddhiques vers l'Ouest. Ils attrapent en cachette un âne qu'ils transforment en Dragon Blanc, mais Xuanzang finit par en tomber. Il punit alors l'animal, déclenchant une série de mésaventures aussi absurdes que comiques. - « Ayant moi-même grandi dans une zone pastorale, cette histoire s'inspire directement de mes souvenirs d'enfance. La vie des enfants dans ces régions, bien que moins variée, regorge de moments joyeux et marquants. Donner forme à ces expériences à travers un film me semble avoir une réelle valeur. » Tsering Yangjyab / - - The traditional 'three-year, three-month, three-day retreat,' or *Lo-Sum-Choe-Sum*, is practised by monks, nuns, and other Buddhist devotees. Three years, three months, and three days is an estimation of the time needed to reach a higher state of clarity and motivation. By withdrawing from Fences - the world and delving into the depths of the mind, this retreat is meant to transform the practitioner. Will Lhamo, a bruised young woman facing the world's harsh scrutiny, be able to find her own form of retreat and redemption? - 'The feeling of being constantly watched is something I believe most Bhutanese can relate to. Although the heroine's story is based on a supposedly true account, the film is not so much about a woman as about scrutiny, and about a woman caught up in that scrutiny.' Dechen Roder / - - The Boys and the Donkey - Lo Sum Choe Sum - 3 years 3 Months Retreat - In the pastoral region of the Tibetan plateau, four children get dressed up as Xuanzang and his disciples to embark on a quest for Buddhist scriptures in the West. They secretly capture a donkey and transform it into a White Dragon, but Xuanzang ends up falling off. He then punishes the animal, triggering a series of misadventures as absurd as they are comical. - 'Having grown up in a pastoral area myself, this story is inspired directly by my childhood memories. The lives of children in these regions, while less varied, are full of joyful and memorable moments. Giving form to these experiences through a film seems to me to have real value.' Tsering Yangjyab.
