The Buddhist concept of reincarnation, while both mysterious and enchanting, is hard for most westerners to grasp. Unmistaken Child follows the four-year search for the reincarnation of Lama Konchog, a world-renowned Tibetan master who passed away in 2001 at age 84. The Dalai Lama charges the deceased monk’s devoted disciple, Tenzin Zopa (who had been in his service since the age of seven), to search for his master’s reincarnation.
Tenzin sets off on this unforgettable quest on foot, mule and even helicopter, through breathtaking landscapes and remote traditional Tibetan villages. Along the way, Tenzin listens to stories about young children with special characteristics, and performs rarely seen ritualistic tests designed to determine the likelihood of reincarnation. He eventually presents the child he believes to be his reincarnated master to the Dalai Lama so that he can make the final decision.
Stunningly shot, Unmistaken Child is a beguiling, surprising, touching, even humorous experience.
The second screening of Focaccia Blues will take place Saturday, January 30th at the Odeon Theatre, 5pm.

The tale of a bakery able to topple a McDonald's has become the stuff of legend. Luca Digesu, owner of a little shop right next to the American interloper, decides to open a small bakery to produce his specialty: focaccia. He's able to entice customers using family recipes with the freshest possible local ingredients, and he soon becomes a thorn in the side of the fast food giant. Root for all things Italian at the second screening of Focaccia Blues!
