The St. Augustine Film Society hosts a showing of Lunana: A Yak in the Classroom (2019) on Friday, October 25, 2024, at 7:00 p.m. at the Waterworks.

This Bhutanese drama written and directed by Pawo Choyning Dorji, has been recognized and nominated for the Academy Award for Best International Feature Film. The story follows a young teacher, Ugyen, who sets aside his dreams of becoming a singer and moves to a remote mountain village, Lunana. As he learns about the locals' traditional ways of life and heritage, he has a spiritual transformation and a change of heart. It explores the idea that you can find what you seek in unlikely places.

Admission: Tickets are $8.00 for the public and include entry to The Monk and the Gun screening as well. Students and St. Augustine Film Society members are free.

When: Friday, October 25, 2024 at 7:00 p.m. Doors open at 6:30 p.m.
