STF spring season closing night: TIBET IN SONG

  • by Raphaela Neihausen, June 05, 2009

image STF’s spring season ended with Ngawang Choephel’s incredible film TIBET IN SONG.  For the second time in STF history, the film inspired a thundering standing-ovation (the first time being at the Spring 08 screening of THE AGRONOMIST when Jean Dominique’s widow Michele Montas came to the stage).  To learn more about the film and future screenings, you can visit: http://www.tibetinsong.com.

Thanks everyone for another great season of STF! A special thanks to the 50 STF passholders who broke our previous record for number of season passholders.  And thank you to 99 Below for all your yummy STF drink specials.  See you in the fall!

Some fun photos from that evening’s reception at 99 Below:
