Zuri Rinpoche
Zuri Rinpoche, the Maestro of Mystical Cinema. Born in 1962 in the spiritual heartland of Thimphu, Bhutan, Rinpoche began his directorial journey in the late 1980s, specializing in the genres of drama and fantasy. His films, notably "The Lotus in the Mud" and "Whispers of the Wind", have won recognition at numerous international film festivals, although an elusive Palme d'Or still awaits him. Rinpoche's authorial style is characterized by his unique blend of traditional Bhutanese folklore with contemporary themes, creating a cinematic tapestry that is both visually stunning and thought-provoking. Zuri Rinpoche, with his unassuming demeanor and strikingly serene eyes, carries the aura of a true storyteller, a spiritual sage who speaks in the language of film.
