Yarlung

2020 · 5 min · Animation

This whimsical tale employs fluidly animated charcoal drawings to relate the stories of three Tibetan children who live in the town of Tezu, Arunachal Pradesh. Faced with a death in the family, each child expresses themself differently, via their relationship with the Yarlong Tsangpo river—the upper stream of the Brahmaputra, and the longest waterway in Tibet.
