Lost World of Tibet

The rare treasure trove of amazing colour footage, preserved and restored by the BFL, reveals the story of the Dalai Lama and his secret Himalayan kingdom in a way never told before.

An exclusive interview with the Dalai Lama, focusing on his early life and childhood is intercut with colour archive film from the 1930s, ‘40s and ‘50s as well as revealing interviews with ordinary Tibetan people who remember life before China sent in troops.

Presented by Dan Cruickshank, this astonishing film allows us to glimpse into the rich culture of Tibet, showing us ancient ceremonies, Buddhist rituals and family life, from a time before the Tibetan people lost their country, nearly 50 years ago.

The Wheel of Time

Wheel of Time is a documentary about a Buddhist ritual promoting peace and tolerance, held by His Holiness the Dalai Lama. This film includes exclusive interviews with the Dalai Lama, access to secret rituals for the first time on film as well as footage of a pilgrimage to the Holy Mount Kailash in Tibet.

Wener Herzog is one of the most prolific and respected contemporary film directors. Born in Munich in 1942 he grew up in a remote mountain village in Bavaria and never saw any films, television, or telephones as a child. During high school he worked the nightshift as a welder in a steel factory to produce his first films and made his first film in 1961 at the age of 19. Since then he has gone on to direct more than forty feature films including most recently Grizzly Man and Rescue Dawn.

The Unwinking Gaze

The Unwinking Gaze is an astonishing film of rare historic importance. Film makes Joshua Dugdale was given extraordinary access over a three-year period showing the trials and tribulations of the XIV Dalai Lama as he faces up to the titanic challenge of engaging with China.

The rising superpower of China, home to a quarter of the human race, views the Dalai Lama with extreme suspicion, but how right are they to see the Tibetan spiritual leader as ‘a wolf in monk’s clothing’? And what is the Dalai Lama actually saying behind closed doors? Does he really want to split Tibet away from China?

The Unwinking Gaze goes where no other movie or journalistic endeavor has gone before in tracking the daily agonies of the Tibetan leader as he tries to strike a balance between his Buddhist vows and the real politik needed to placate China. David and Goliath is played out in front of us as the world’s emerging superpower and the Dalai Lama walk a tightrope over an issue of global importance – the future of Tibet and China.

The Unwinking Gaze is not 3 years in the life of the Dalai Lama. It is his life’s work in 3 years. This film takes you inside the epic struggle of one of the great spiritual and political figures of our time, as he tries to lead his people to a peaceful resolution with China.

“….could force China in a more civil, humanitarian stance towards Tibet. How wonderful to think a mere movie could once again help make a difference.’ – Paul’Tatara, The Guardian
