3rd Ottawa Tibet Film Festival to
Share the Stories of Tibet’s Land, People and Culture
OTTAWA – The Ottawa Tibetan Community Association (OTCA) is proud to present the third Ottawa Tibet Film Festival, with an exciting lineup of five films to bring together the idea of home, Tibetan reincarnations, an animated folk tale, the preservation of the Tibetan language, and a road trip through Tibet. The Ottawa Tibet Film Festival provides a platform for filmmakers from around the world to showcase their films about Tibet. This year’s festival, taking place Saturday March 21st, will showcase Tibetan filmmakers from Canada, New York, and Tibet.
Other festival highlights include guest speakers such as Thupten Samdup, His Holiness the Dalai Lama’s former Representative to Northern Europe, and performances of traditional Tibetan music and dances by local Tibetan community members. There will also be a silent auction, merchandise tables selling Tibetan goods, and the sale of traditional Tibetan food.
Forty percent of the profits will be donated to the Tibetan Resettlement Project Ottawa (TRPO) – a project supporting 90 Tibetan refugees living in rural India who are being resettled in Ottawa. In the past year, the TRPO has supported 35 refugees to make a home in Ottawa.

The second Ottawa Film Festival was a great success!
Thank you all for making this event a success! Hundreds of tickets sold for a broad variety of fictional and documentary films about Tibet. We all enjoyed delicious Tibetan food, loved the traditional dances and had fun bidding on the silent auctions.
The event generated a total amount of $4804 and all profits will be donated to the Ottawa Resettlement Project very soon. We are so happy that our local Tibetan community is now fast-growing.
