In-person Q&A with Director Xiaohui Liu (University of Texas at Austin)

In Nasoni Village, Yushu Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Qinghai Province, we created a short documentary about the local sounds, exploring the stories related to sound in Tibetan areas and the deep connection between Tibetans and sound. As Tibetan Buddhism suggests, sound originates not only from the external world but also partly arises from the heart. Tibetans' perception of sound encompasses not just what they hear, but also what they see, experience, and feel internally. Sound constructs the life memories and worldly relationships of Tibetans in Nasoni.
