A Brief Discussion on the Important Turn of Narrative Expression in Contemporary Tibetan Cinema -The Example of Pema Tseden's Film
Abstract
Tibetan cinema, as an important part of national cinema in the new century, presents a distinct and unique development process. From the initial Jin Yin Tan and Serf to the pre-sent day's Jinpa and Balloon, Tibetan cinema has continued to shed its function of educational enlightenment and ideological propaganda and gradually formed a new content and form with unique Tibetan characteristics. Tibetan films have thus become a medium for telling the world about the rich human connotation and cultural history of the Tibetans. Taking the works of Tibetan director Pema Tseden as an example, this paper summarizes the important turns in the narrative expression of contemporary Tibetan cinema from dif-ferent directions of breadth and depth.
