On TV: HAPPINESS

Coming to PBS’s Independent Lens this coming Monday, November 17: HAPPINESS

Thomas Balmès’ portrait of a rural Bhutanese boy’s confrontation with modern times had its world premiere at IDFA last year. It went on to screen at Sundance, where it claimed the World Cinema Cinematography Award; Nantucket; Camden; Margaret Mead; Cleveland; Melbourne; Thessaloniki Doc; and Sheffield, among others.

My pre-Sundance profile of the doc may be found here.
