Still image from the film The Search
A Tibetan film director travels from village to village looking for actors to star in a film based on a Tibetan opera. Traveling by car, the director holds auditions in the most unlikely locations – construction sites, streets, bars, night clubs, and monasteries. This road movie takes us straight into the heart of a changing Tibet, raising questions about what tradition and identity mean in the modern world. Tibetan language with English subtitles.
