A group of four young Tibetans are filming a music video in the center of Paris. They have to stop filming when they notice that the singer's small bag is missing. Inside is his residency permit, which he has just received.
Migmar Jannot
Born in Kham, Tibet, Migmar spent 7 years at the Tibetan Children’s Village in Dharamsala, India, before relocating to France at 14. Raised by her adoptive mother, French artist Véronique Jannot, Migmar discovered a passion for cinema, teaching herself filmmaking and editing online using a Panasonic GH5—the same camera she uses to film with today.
She later joined the École Supérieure d’Études Cinématographiques where she specialised in cinematography. Migmar has contributed to French feature films as a camera and production assistant, as well as directing short films and music videos for the Tibetan artist community in Paris.
Her short, Lobsang On Camera, was born during a visit to her uncle at Drepung Monastery in South India while filming for an ongoing project. Recently, Migmar’s documentary was one of twelve projects selected for the prestigious Atelier Doc program at La Fémis. Her upcoming project explores the intimate lives and narratives of the Tibetan diaspora in Paris.
