About:
Yarlung is about Three children who face challenges in their Tibetan village of Tezu, located in Arunachal Pradesh, India. They find resolution in the Yarlung Tsangpo river.
Storytelling has been paramount to my artistic practice, especially ones which play with a mélange of fiction and non-fiction narratives. The use of charcoal and straight-ahead animation in my film adds to the whimsical and fluid nature of storytelling. Drawing in peculiar perspectives, and working with transitions that weave in various landscapes emphasize the spontaneity of listening to a story or remembering a dream.
This project was awarded The President’s Media Awards for Excellence – Best in 2D or Experimental Animation
