Contact is taking a break after 25 years of bringing you news of Tibet and Tibetan issues. We are celebrating our 25 years by bringing you the story of Contact and the people who have made it happen, and our archive is still there for you to access at any time, and below you can read the story of Contact, how it came into being and the wonderful reflections of the people who have made it happen over the years.
When and how Contact will re-emerge and evolve will be determined by those who become involved.
The 7th Tibet Film Festival is underway in Dharamshala and Switzerland, premiering with the Tibetan film Pawo [Hero], a Tibetan-German film looking at the issues around self-immolation. Chief guest in Dharamshala was Tibetan Prime Minister in Exile Lobsang Sangay who expressed happiness as more young Tibetans enter the world of cinema. The theme for the short film competition this year is food.
