UNKNOWN WHITE MALE – 1hr. 29 mins One day in 2002 Doug Bruce, a handsome, successful young British guy, woke on the New York subway to find not only did he not know where he was, he had no idea who he was. This Oscar shortlisted British film tells Doug’s fascinating and moving true story as he comes to terms with – and discovers the surprising flip-side of – his total memory loss. The fundamental question the film asks is: How much is our identity determined by the experiences we have, and how much is already there – pure us?  ….. ”This film provides an extraordinary opportunity to explore the composition of personal identity and the relationship between memory and experience, how character is formed, and what happens when everything you know and understand about the world and yourself is suddenly gone.” Shambhala Sun

15h40 – 17:30
TRAVELLERS AND MAGICIANS
DVD – (Tibetan with English sub-titles)

Mystical journeys of spiritual discovery are set against the spectacular evocative landscape of the remote kingdom of Bhutan in Travellers and Magicians.  Young Government official Dondrup dreams of escaping to America while stuck in a ravishingly beautiful but isolated village. But when he misses his bus to go to the city Dondrup is forced to hitchhike with an elderly apple seller, a sage young monk, an old man, and his beautiful daughter. Along the way, the mischievous monk tells Dondrup a story of another young man who sought a land far away; a tale of lust, jealousy and murder that holds up a mirror to the restless Dondrup and his blossoming attraction to the innocent woman.
