State of Statelessness | Tibetan-Language Film Screening at Bangalore International Centre

State of Statelessness is a Tibetan-language anthology film exploring themes of exile, belonging and the experiences of Tibetans living across borders. Presented at Bangalore International Centre (BIC), the screening offers an opportunity to explore stories of displacement, identity and the meaning of home through cinema.

The film brings together four stories that explore heartache, nostalgia and the realities of dislocation without judgement or romanticisation. As the first Tibetan-language anthology to examine the lives of Tibetans in exile around the world, it raises questions about belonging across national boundaries, different generations and cultural identities. The film runs for 106 minutes and is presented in Tibetan with English subtitles.

The screening takes place on Wednesday, 18 November 2026, from 6:30 PM to 8:45 PM at Bangalore International Centre. Admission is free and open to all, with RSVP required through the BIC website. The film is rated for audiences aged 12 and above. Norpell Wilberforce, Organiser of Tibet Film Festival, will participate as the speaker.
