Dharma Film Night

Pig at the Crossing
Tuesday, May 12 – 6:00 pm

Directed by Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche, Pig at the Crossing is a deeply spiritual Bhutanese drama exploring the Tibetan Buddhist intermediate state (bardo) between death and rebirth. Following his sudden death, Dolom—a young, passionate YouTube creator and teacher—must navigate a surreal afterlife and confront the consequences of his actions. With noir aesthetics and provocative philosophy, the film is a beautiful and powerful meditation on life, death, and impermanence.

Running time: 2 hours
