"LUNANA : A YAK IN THE CLASSROOM "




The season continues on Thursday 15th May with "Lunana - A Yak in the Classroom", a 2019 Bhutanese drama film directed by Pawo Choyning Dorji in his directorial debut.

A young teacher, Ugyen, dreams of moving to Australia, where he wants to make a living playing his guitar and singing. Instead, he finds himself posted to the remote village of Lunana, high up in the Himalayan glaciers.
Leaving behind his modern life in Bhutan’s capital, he is initially perplexed by the customs of the isolated yak herding community he is sent to join. The enthusiasm of his young students and the warmth of the villagers soon work their magic and he finds himself captivated by the simplicity of life he discovers there.

The film had its world premiere at the BFI London Film Festival and was a nominee for Best International Feature Film at the 94th Academy Awards.
