    Awarding wining film Ballad From Tibet(《天籁梦想》) by Chinese director Zhang Wei is scheduled to premiere in New York City on Saturday, March 10.

    The film, which tells the story of four visually impaired kids from China's Tibet autonomous region embarking on a journey for their dreams, will be presented at the Bronx Library Center on Saturday, at Mid-Manhattan Library on Sunday, at Lehman College and Marlene Meyerson JCC Manhattan on Tuesday, and at the Museum of Modern Art on Wednesday.

    Based on a true story, Ballad from Tibet is about the four 1ibetan kids—Thupten, Sonam, Kelsang and Droma—achieving their dreams against all odds.

    Thupten is a 10-year-old boy partially sighted in one eye and blind in the other. His doctor says that there is a chance he could completely lose his sight, but there is an operation that could offer a 50 percent chance of saving his vision.

    His teacher firmly suggests that he should have the operation right away, but Thupten is afraid and wants to see the world before his life is plunged into total darkness.

    Along with his three friends who also suffer from blindness, Thupten embarks on an exciting adventure. Together they decide to go to Shenzhen in South China's Guangdong province, a city more than 37,000 km away from Tibetan regional capital Lhasa.

    The reason for the children's decision to go to Shenzhen is their love of music. They are all talented and want to sing their hearts out in front of national audience by participating in a Shenzhen-based reality show.

    The foursome's trip is indeed fun, but also turns out to be dangerous as well. Luckily, help is on hand along the way in the form of a wandering family, a shepherd, a motorcycle club, and a TV producer's assistant.

    Ballad From Tibet has won the award for Best Children's Feature at the 13th China International Children's Film Festival in November 2017, and earned nominations at 17 different international children's film festivals in Germany, Canada, Japan, Greece, Australia and India.

Q: What were you afraid of when you were a child?

A: I was my own monster (怪物). My fancy was unbelievable, so I was afraid of everything. A chair could very quickly change into a mouse. I remember looking up at the sky when I was five. One of the clouds up there looked like a beautiful bird, then suddenly it was a tiger. I ran home crying.

Q: What did your parents feel about that?

A: For my parents my imagination was a real problem, so much so that they seriously considered having me examined by a doctor. After all I was always seeing things that didn't exist (存在) except in my head. My mother and father thought I had something wrong with my mind. I probably did — but it is the gateway to a great career!

Q: What do you consider your greatest career achievement so far?

A: The right to decide my own programs. That was always my only dream, telling my stories without anyone else interfering (干预). It was also why I built my own company.

Q: Which movie did you enjoy making most?

A: That was E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, because it was the first time I realized I wanted to be a father. Three years later I had my first son.

Q: Do you make home movies?

A: Yes, I always have a video camera with me. At Christmas it's traditional for my family to see a movie about the family that lasts one hour. We all watch the film together and everyone gets a DVD of it.
