The Projector celebrates the films of late Tibetan writer-director Pema Tseden with a special programme.
Yangshik Tso and Shide Nyima in the film Tharlo, screened as part of the Remembering Pema Tseden programme.Pema Tseden is not as well-known in Singapore compared with other Asian film-makers, so this four-film programme at The Projector aims to elevate his profile.
The film was selected to screen at the Venice International Film Festival in 2015, where the film-maker earned a Best Director nomination. At the Golden Horse Film Festival and Awards in the same year, Tharlo won the Best Adapted Screenplay prize. Snow Leopard finds a herder facing the predator of the title, causing him to choose between his flock and the endangered creature, one with great spiritual significance in his culture.
Uruguayan director and co-writer Fede Alvarez has shown the way forward for the sci-fi horror series, which till now has found itself mired in philosophising or the same old running and screaming . The bond between Rain and Andy is the poignant heart of a story that would otherwise be a cacophony of killing. Spaeny’s Rain holds the role of victim and warrior in one consistent package, while Jonsson makes Andy deeply human.Somewhat improbably, gruff middle-aged construction worker Dan is drafted off the street into a community theatre production of Romeo And Juliet – cast, even more improbably, as Romeo – that helps him confront and heal from a personal loss.
