With all due respect, it's not at all surprising Disk Kino would release this. Pema Tseden is among the most celebrated contemporary East Asian arthouse filmmakers, not least because he's a Tibetan, making films starring Tibetans, speaking Tibetan, about Tibetan culture; his work is important ethnographic expression at this historical moment, as encroaching modernity and Han politico-economic hegemony threaten to forever change Tibet as a place and people. I encourage you to look up his back catalogue, though be advised most of it is extremely slow and minimalist.

Stoked that Diskino is continuing to release these otherwise hard-to-see contemporary Chinese films.

Hi @ksosk I missed this GB. If you have any extras, I'd be very interested in one. Thanks.

That'd make my year. -
Excited to see this! Early Chen Kaige and supposedly stunning Yunnan landscapes means this is a must-have for me.

Also found out about this yesterday after the DVDbeaver review. Bummed I missed it, but glad it pointed me in the direction of this community. Hopefully Diskino continues to distribute blu-ray editions of these previously unavailable Chinese classics.
