Pema Tseden to jeden z najciekawszych i najbardziej wyrazistych głosów współczesnego kina. Pierwszy Tybetańczyk, któremu udaje się realizować filmy we własnym regionie i języku - ale też twórca obdarzony wyjątkową wrażliwością na przewrotne metafory, nieoczywiste piękno i filozoficzne paradoksy kryjące się w prozie egzystencji. Z okazji kinowej premiery jego "Jinpy", który trafi do kin 24 września, na VOD Pięć Smaków w Domu można poznać również dwa inne filmy mistrza, tworzące razem swoistą tybetańską trylogię. W 35. odcinku podkastu rozmawiamy o dzisiejszej rzeczywistości Tybetu i jego miejscu w chińskiej strategii rozwoju państwa, a także o trudnej historii kina tego regionu. Przede wszystkim przyglądamy się jednak twórczości samego Tsedena i jego fascynującej drodze z tybetańskich stepów na światowe festiwale. Tybetańska trylogia Pemy Tsedena na VOD Pięć Smaków w Domu Pema Tseden Urodzony w 1969 roku tybetański reżyser, pisarz i scenarzysta. Pierwszy Tybetańczyk, który ukończył prestiżową Akademię Filmową w Pekinie. Jego pełnometrażowy debiut, "The Silent Holy Stones" był pierwszym filmem zrealizowanym w języku tybetańskim, z ekipą filmową w całości złożoną z Tybetańczyków. Jego filmy pokazywane i nagradzane były na wielu międzynarodowych festiwalach, między innymi w Bangkoku, Tajpej, Locarno, Hongkongu, Tokio i Wenecji. Opublikował ponad 50 pisanych zarówno w języku tybetańskim jak i mandaryńskim opowiadań i powieści, które doczekały się przekładów na wiele języków. Filmy odcinka Balon / Qi qiu / Balloon, reż.

Sur une route solitaire traversant les vastes plaines dénudées du Tibet, un camionneur qui avait écrasé un mouton par accident prend un jeune homme en stop. Au cours de la conversation qui s’engage entre eux, le chauffeur remarque que son nouvel ami a un poignard en argent attaché à la jambe et apprend que cet homme se prépare à tuer quelqu’un qui lui a fait du tort à un moment donné de sa vie. À l’instant où il dépose l’auto- stoppeur à un embranchement, le camionneur ne se doute aucunement que les brefs moments qu’ils ont partagés vont tout changer pour l’un comme pour l’autre et que leurs destins sont désormais imbriqués à jamais.Avec : Jinpa, Genden Phuntsok, Sonam WangmoPrix du meilleur scénario à la Mostra de Venise 2018 (section Orizzonti)Prix de La Critique et Cyclo d’or* au Festival des Cinémas d’Asie de Vesoul 2019*pour l’originalité de son style et de son langage cinématographique uniqueBonus DVD :Interview du réalisateur, Pema Tseden par Phurwatsering Jakri, 30min, réalisé au FICA de Vesoul 2019.Clip de la chanson A Butcher on the Praying Wheel Path (སྐོར་ལམ་གྱི་ཤན་པ།) du groupe Tibetan Patients (བོད་ཀིྱ་ནད་པ།), réalisé avec les images du tournage ; 4 min.Bandes annonces : Tharlo, le berger tibétain, Le Labyrinthe des rêves et Pursuit of Loneliness.Image : 16/9 compatible 4/3 – Son : 5.1 ou 2.0Version originale tibétaine avec ou sans sous-titres françaisDVD Pal Toutes Zones

Though most renowned for his award-winning Tibetan films, Pema Tseden, is also a prolific author and translator. Enticement(State University of New York Press 2018) is a collection of Pema Tseden’s short stories edited and translated by Patricia Schiaffini-Vedani and Michael Monhart, with assistance from Southwest University’s Carl Robertson and INALCO’s Francoise Robin. Along with a translator’s introduction and author’s preface, the 10 short stories selected with input from the author himself range from the realistic to the fantastic. For the more realistic stories, lovingly playful descriptions of everyday Tibetan life bring a relatively apolitical look at contemporary Tibetan experience that defies simplistic interpretation. In the more fantastic stories, some of the same issues appear through descriptions that are stubbornly not realistic. Throughout the stories a narrative style and thematic influences from Tibetan oral traditions, his portrayal of media within media, and his tendency to use conclusions that do not lend a sense of finality to the stories create a reading experience that mirrors, in many ways the author’s unique cinematic storytelling style. This first ever English translation of Pema Tseden’s short stories provides a new way of approaching contemporary Tibet through the eyes of one of its most impressive storytellers.

This week on the Sinica Podcast, Jeremy and Kaiser speak with Tashi Rabgey, research professor of international affairs at George Washington University and director of the Tibet Governance Project. They are joined by returning guest Jim Millward, professor of history at Georgetown University and renowned scholar of Xinjiang and Central Asia. This episode focuses on their respective areas of expertise: human rights violations in the Xinjiang region; the P.R.C. approach to ethnic policies in Tibet and Xinjiang, referred to on this show as minzu (民族 mínzú) policy; and the assimilation and securitization of both regions. What to listen for on this week’s Sinica Podcast: 5:40: Jim gives an update on the disturbing conditions in Xinjiang: “We’re seeing more and more work facilities, or factories, in these camps. Recent reporting has revealed that this has become a serious part of what the camps are doing. That once these people ‘graduate’ from learning Chinese and sort of move on, they’re put to work in some kind of facilities, making textiles, shoes, some packaging, electronics, assembly, those kind of things, for a period of time we don’t know about.” 11:50: Tashi describes heightened levels of security in Tibet: “There’s a lot of contradictory practices being put into place that are hard to explain, really. And so, increasingly, I think the surveillance, through many different means, is higher than ever before in history, even just to circumambulate around the Potala Palace, for example. Local Tibetans talk about that [it’s harder to get into than an airport].” 13:07: Tashi explains the burden that is created by using self-immolation as a political tool: “I think what’s really significant is how this has sat with the Tibetan people, and I think there’s a kind of silent mourning going on. Whether or not it’s being covered in the media, it really sits on people’s conscience — the fact that it is not something narrowly limited to monks and nuns. In particular, I’d point out that during the 18th Party Congress, where we saw the change in power, there were 28 self-immolations. That’s pretty much one every day.” 24:15: In the ongoing debate surrounding minzu policy, a second-generation minzu policy (第二代民族政策 dì èr dài mínzú zhèngcè) has emerged among Chinese thought leaders, pushed by Peking University professor Mǎ Róng 马戎. His solution of depoliticization (去政治化 qù zhèngzhìhuà) was met with great pushback from ethnic minority academics and government officials, but with notable absences, which Tashi explains: “At the same time, they got massive pushback, especially led by shaoshu minzu [少数民族 shǎoshù mínzú; ethnic minority] intellectuals, Hui and Inner Mongolians, for example. You know who didn’t push back, generally speaking? Tibetans and the Uyghurs.” 43:34: Kaiser asks the two about the concept of territoriality. Jim cites the signing of the Treaty of Nanking, which spurred the creation of trade enclaves, treaty ports, and certain degrees of autonomy for merchants. However, in the modern era, things are very different, which Jim explains: “They are turning their back on these approaches, I would say, and chasing the will-o’-the-wisp of a homogeneous national identity, which doesn’t really exist. So I’m saying that China should look to its own traditions for creative ways of dealing with territoriality and sovereignty as a way of addressing the problems in Xinjiang and Tibet.” Recommendations: Jeremy: A retelling of John Milton’s Paradise Lost in the graphic novel version by Pablo Auladell. Tashi: Jinpa by Pema Tseden, a Tibetan-language film and recipient of Best Screenplay at the Venice International Film Festival.
