Film Club presents Lunana: A Yak in the Classroom – Thursday 15th May

Lunana : A Yak in the Classroom is a 2019 Bhutanese drama film directed by Pawo Choyning Dorji in his feature 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, and disheartened by their lack of basic amenities such as electricity, paper or even a blackboard.  Full info and tickets:  https://webcollect.org.uk/sheetfilms
