New documentary is an intimate portrayal of Himalayan immigrants in a New York neighbourhood
A Flushing Local 7 subway train approaches the platform and commuters get ready to step in. The scene cuts to solid black. These first few seconds set the tone for the rest of Diversity Plaza — this is going to be a film about people in motion.
Movement through time and space is something of a trademark for acclaimed documentary maker Kesang Tseten, with previous films like In Search of the Riyal, We Corner People, Castaway Man and Frames of War. Some of these films will be screened in a retrospective this weekend.
