Tenzin Phuntsog (b. New Delhi, India 1982)
Tenzin Phuntsog founded the Tibet Film Archive in 2005 to restore and preserve films from Tibet's bygone era for future generations.
The Tibet Film Archive aims to preserve Tibet's legacy on film and make these images widely accessible to scholars, academics, film makers, students, and Tibetans. By restoring and preserving these cultural relics to archival standards and digitizing them to modern media formats, Tibet Film Archive hopes to bring together the qualities of archival preservation and philanthropic service.
