Join us at the Star Cinema for a week long festival of Tibetan events, food and film. It’s a feast for the senses!

Observe the incredible installation of a sand mandala by visiting Tibetan monks, delight in Tibetan dance displays, enjoy a light lunch or dinner, and view one of the themed films selected for the festival. With a pet blessing by the monks on Sunday 30, through to the dissolution of the mandala ceremony on Thursday September 4, there’s something for everyone. Special events are also scheduled prior to evening film screenings.

Throughout each day of the festival, chai will be available and traditional Tibet khapse for just $5. A light lunch will be served between 12 and 2pm daily for $7. Dinner and film bookings are now being taken for each night of the festival. Tickets are $35 and include dinner and a film. Film screenings only tickets $15.
