About

Royal Café 2016

Royal Café is both a meditation on the filmmaking process and the complexities of presenting Tibetan identity on screen. Paris-based Fashion Designer/Filmmaker Tenzin Dasel is one of very few Tibetan women making films. Through candid conversations with a series of characters in cafes and bars she examines the freedom and constraints of being a Tibetan living in Paris.

Seeds 2009

Seeds is Tenzin Dasel’s first film shot on 8mm in India and combines dream sequences with a black and white verité style of filmmaking. The film offers a fresh perspective on the restlessness of youth capturing both the inertia and big dreams of the refugee experience.
