Winner of the grand prix and the best screenplay award at the 21st Shanghai International Film Festival 2018, ALA CHANGSO is directed by Sonthar Gyal, has Liao Xi as its producer, Yungdrung Gyal and Nyima Sungsung as its stars.

The film follows a remarried Tibetan family, and gives a minute and special examination of the complex relationships of the family. While conveying the subtle emotions, it also showcases Tibet’s great scenic beauty. Different from Tibetan movies in the past, ALA CHANGSO tells the story from the perspective of native Tibetan people and explores Tibetan culture, beliefs and values with a rare endogenous touch.

The Silk Road has been a link of friendly exchanges between countries since ancient times. The film’s title ALA CHANGSO means ‘Drink up this cup of good wine’. I hope you will enjoy it like a cup of good wine and that films will become a bridge for friendly interpersonal exchanges. Tashi delek!"
