A MUBI RELEASE: NOTTURNO

Told with compassion, grace and humanism, this is a breathtaking cinematic journey, and will show exclusively on MUBI.

THE SUN BEHIND THE CLOUDS: TIBET'S STRUGGLE FOR FREEDOM
Ritu Sarin and Tenzing Sonam have made more than 20 documentaries, several video installations and two dramatic features. A recurring subject in their work is the issue of Tibet, with which they have been intimately involved: personally, politically and artistically. Through their films, they have attempted to document, question and reflect on the questions of exile, identity, culture and nationalism that confront the Tibetan people. In The Sun Behind the Clouds, Tibetan filmmaker, Tenzing Sonam, and his partner, Ritu Sarin, take a uniquely Tibetan perspective on the trials and tribulations of the Dalai Lama and his people as they continue their struggle for freedom in the face of determined suppression by one of the world’s biggest and most powerful nations. The filmmakers had intimate access to the Dalai Lama and followed him over the course of an eventful year, which included the 2008 protests in Tibet, the international response to it, the Beijing Olympics, and the breakdown in talks between the Dalai Lama and the Chinese government. This film is a part of our focus on the works of Ritu Sarin and Tenzing Sonam.
