The Tibetan Photo Project films at Culture Unplugged Film Festival
We just received word that both feature films from The Tibetan Photo Project have been made official selections to the Culture Unplugged Film Festival in India. In the event you arrive at the home page of the festival:
1). Scroll down the page and click enter at the bottom right
2). Once in, use the search near the top to search for Voices in Exile and Visually and Respectfully "Visually and Respectufully Yours - The Story of The Tibetan Photo Project" http://www.cultureunplugged.com/index.php?viewMovieId=269
Selling the DVDs is one way we hope to finance The Tibetan Photo Project Film Makers Education Centers in India, but we also know its important for as many people as possible to see these films. (We also share a percentage of sales with the filmmaker),
Please, after viewing the films, consider a donation if you can... but at the very least... please tell friends.
Visually and Respectfully Yours, Sazzy Varga and Joe Mickey

The Tibetan Photo Project Mission Statement
The goal of The Tibetan Photo Project is to provide the tools and education to create a voice from the films and photos by Tibetans.
While there have been thousands of great visual works documenting the Tibetans, most have been from the perspective of the Western eye.
The Tibetan Photo Project is working to present the Tibetans' own perspective through this Website, exhibits, films, DVDs and other visual programs created from their own photographic work or by film and photo efforts directed by Tibetans.
