A documentary film by a Tibetan filmmaker based in Washington DC has won the Rising Star Award at the 2014 Canada International Film Festival, to be held later this month. “Scent of Juniper”, by Tashi Wangchuk, “was among the very best of the several hundreds of films submitted from over 30 countries around the world and deserving of special recognition,” said the festival organisers. Tashi currently works for the Voice of America’s Tibetan Service.
