#Bhutanese filmmaker

[hachama]

Heard a story on NPR about a Bhutanese filmmaker, and he was saying that Bhutan's culture is heavily influenced by "2500 years of Buddhism" and the shit talking gremlin in my head said "what, like 2500 years is supposed to be impressive? *laughs in almost 4000 years of culture*"

Shannon Domingsil ’20, BFA in Broadcast Journalism and Documentary

At Chapman, we talk a lot about how you can personalize your education. What does that look like? Major Opportunities will show you how it’s done.

“Network news can be hard to get into, but my experience at Chapman gave me a foot in the door.”

Ever since I was part of my high school’s bi-weekly newscast, I knew that I wanted to work in broadcast journalism. Though I’m still in college for another year, I’m amazed at how much hands-on experience I’ve gotten while at Chapman. Here are some ways I’m getting closer to my goals while still a student.

Industry Experience in Marion Knott Studios: In my writing and production class, I got to pretend to be on a talk show in Dodge College’s biggest studio, using industry-standard equipment. I was also Entertainment Producer for Chapman News for a semester, where I produced the weekly entertainment segment. I spent a lot of time in the editing bays, honing what I already knew about video production and absorbing new techniques. There’s something so rewarding about being able to shape snippets of real life into coherent stories.

(For Real) Industry Experience at CNN: It turned out that I gained a solid foundation for the type of work I did at CNN, where I spent a semester interning at their headquarters in Atlanta. I did everything from researching and writing scripts to developing almost 40 videos for their website and social media. I also did things that went far beyond my experience and expectations, like helping with the production of an interview with a former KGB spy.

Filmmaking On the Other Side of the World: This year, I took an Interterm travel course in Bhutan and Nepal to work on a documentary about the importance of the Himalayan mountains to the Bhutanese people. (Chapman President Struppa went with us, which was really cool.) All of us students served as directors and producers, but I was the only editor on our team. I edited the film when we got back to Chapman, which had to be done within a week. I was pulling all nighters while also being jet lagged, but it was worth it, because I’m still proud of the finished product.

Learn more about the program, and even more opportunities, on our BFA in Broadcast Journalism and Documentary webpage.

In Khyentse Norbu’s work as, an artist and filmmaker, philosophical questions of context play a central role. Known within the Buddhist world as Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche, Norbu is a Tibetan/Bhutanese lama, respected for his teaching and writing. In Year 2118, set in a Buddhist monastery on the 'Kathmandu Valley beachfront’, Norbu imagines what impact the passage of a century might have on Buddhist teaching practices. Year 2118 evokes a future in which, on the one hand, modern technology has been welcomed and fully integrated, and on the other, in which the monks have passed beyond language, communicating philosophical principles instead through their actions. The film offers a simple moment of revelation, as a group of objects accrue a different significance as they pass from one context to another.

Hyperallergic: ‘Voice of the Thunder Dragon,’ a Pop-Up Exhibition of Bhutanese Contemporary Art

Gyempo Wangchuk, “Harmony of Four Friends” (2014), natural pigments mixed with soil and stone on canvas, 3’10” x 4’8″ inches

Voice of the Thunder Dragon is one of the first group exhibitions of Bhutanese contemporary art in the United States.

Comprised of 25 paintings by artists Asha Kama, Pema “Tintin” Tshering, Phurba Namgay, and Gyempo Wangchuk, the show offers unique insight into the Himalayan kingdom’s burgeoning contemporary art scene. This pop-up exhibit opens at 263 Bowery on February 11, 2017 and remains on view until February 28, 2017.

Nestled in the Western portion of the Himalayan mountain range, Bhutan is one of the last surviving Himalayan kingdoms. Although small in size, particularly in comparison to its land neighbors India and China, Bhutan is becoming an increasingly powerful voice in the call for conservation of traditional identities, the protection of natural resources, and the importance of happiness in political models. Bhutan has long resisted the forces of modernity, globalization, and industrialization, maintaining isolationist policies and a close connection to its traditional culture. Within the aesthetic system of Bhutanese traditional art, the art object functions as a tool to provide the viewer greater access to spiritual Enlightenment. The works on view offer an alternative, oscillating between contemporary and traditional Bhutanese modes of aesthetic representation.

The exhibition is curated by filmmaker, art collector, and entrepreneur Maxwell S. Joseph. Having studied at the Yale film school, NYU Tisch, and the New York Film Academy, Joseph concurrently directed and produced a feature documentary film, Where the Wind Blows, exploring the Westernization of Bhutan through the lens of contemporary art, which will premiere in June 2017.

Voice of the Thunder Dragon opens on February 11 at 263 Bowery and continues through February 28.
