Feb 21, with filmmaker Tenzin Sedon in person

A Road of Prayer (2014–2016) is a 98-minute documentary that chronicles the filmmaker Tenzin Sedon’s return to her hometown of Lhasa, Tibet, after a long absence. Through her camera, she sought to connect with her homeland and the people—both familiar and unfamiliar—to her. In the film, three narratives intertwine through place, time, and urban change. By capturing the lives of ordinary people on the prayer road (Kora), she embarked on a journey to reconnect with her hometown.

Tenzin Sedon is a documentary filmmaker based in Lhasa. In August 2023, she arrived in New York City to begin the MFA program in Graduate Film Production at NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts. Her films include A Taste of Life (2014), A Road of Prayer (2014–2016), and Taikui Alley (2017–2019). These films have received numerous awards, including the Hot Docs Best Canadian Short Documentary, recognition in the News and Short Feature category of the RTS Students Television Awards, and the Golden Mountain Award for Best Documentary Short Film at Zhenjiang. Her documentary A Road of Prayer was nominated for the Hot Docs Crosscurrents Doc Fund, the CCDF, and Docs Port Incheon. Another film, Echo (2019–present), has been nominated for Fresh Pitch and is currently in the post-production stage.
