About the Film
Directed by Subash Thebe Limbu, Ningwasum follows two time travellers – Miksam and Mingsoma – to a futuristic Himalayas where indigenous sovereignty and technology meet a new climate reality. The film weaves together Yakthung folk tales, music, and language to foreground indigenous perspectives and challenge typical portrayals of indigenous backwardness.
This event is sponsored by the Center for Asian Studies, and the Tibet Himalaya Initiatives.
