'Royal Cafe' Film Screening + Q&A with Director Tenzin Dasel

A young Swiss-born Tibetan woman staying in Paris, abandons her humdrum life to pursue her dream of becoming a filmmaker. In the process, she discovers Royal Café, a small Sri Lankan eatery in the Chapelle area that serves Tibetan food and is frequented by exile Tibetans. As she passes time in the cafe, looking for inspiration and a cast for her film, her life unfolds alongside the desires, disappointments and loneliness of her fellow diners. Royal Café eschews stereotypes of Tibetans living in exile to portray the simple realities of their lives.

Please note - The film includes dialogue in multiple languages and will be screened with subtitles.
