Having premiered at the 2023 Venice and Toronto International Film Festival, LBFF 2024 is proud to present Tibetan auteur Pema Tseden’s multi-award-winning final completed feature. Snow Leopard is set in the vast and stunning Tibetan terrain, and uses the fabled creature to pose and probe the universal question of tradition versus modernity.
An unexpected incident causes a snow leopard to break into the sheep pen of a local herder and kill nine rams not only causing a generational row in the family and attracting a TV crew into the village, but also triggering a heated debate on whether to honour or abandon traditional values in modern day Tibet.
The screening will be followed by this year’s LBFF Awards. Everyone is welcome to stay for this short ceremony to celebrate the achievements of this year’s selected filmmakers.
