Searching for a (new) cinematic language in Tibet.

This paper looks at the cinematic productions by Tibetan filmmakers in China. Walking through geographies of power, it analyses Tibetan films and the discourses that they elaborate in a spatial temporality where Tibetan film-makers and writers face the challenge of de-constructing and re-constructing an image (or, perhaps, multiple, layered or juxtaposed images) of Tibet, which cannot dispose totally of the representations displayed in Chinese and Western films on the subject.
