Since 2017, and the tribute Five Flavours did to Bhutanese cinema, the country’s films have found a number of ways to reach audiences outside the nation, letting the world stage get to know the work of directors like Dechen Roder and Khyentse Norbu. This time it was Jamyang Jamtsho Wangchuk’s turn (an actor who appeared in “Seven Years in Tibet” and “Honeygiver Among the Dogs)” to present his second directorial work after “Gyalsey: Legacy of a Prince”.
