Weekend coming up. Usual plan: movies, shopping, relaxation! Unusual plan: 2 whole days capturing “wild” moments at the Bannerghatta National Park. Sounds interesting? Read on.
iReboot is back with its wildlife photography workshop, the only one in the city to combine a truly outdoor experience with the chance to learn from the best in town. Here’s what you could expect.
A 30 hour module where you will:
* learn the technicalities of using your camera (SLR or any other)
* go on safaris and capture wildlife
* be mentored by one of India’s finest photographers who has contributed to NatGeo
* connect with people with similar passion
* rejuvenate yourself in the midst of wildlife
To ensure that you don’t miss out on any of the action, we figured you’ll have to be a full-time photographer for two days, and so the residential format.
The best part: it doesn’t stop there. Here’s more you can look forward to after the workshop.
Monthly follow up meets- where you can meet all the previous batch participants as well and learn from each other’s experience
Photography assignments – to ensure we keep the fire within you alive, you get exclusive access to paid/unpaid assignments
Event opportunities - with iReboot’s extensive reach and involvement in events, we provide in house opportunities to cover events.
Tie-up with photography magazines- iReboot is a platform which constantly endeavors to promote your talent in various forums like “Better Photography” magazine.
Exposure to other photography initiatives- these could be anything from complimentary fashion photography classes to lectures by other photographers, etc.
Take a look at some of our participant’s work from earlier workshops.
With the monsoons just easing off, catch nature in its most pristine form.
Come. Click. Capture.

8.00 PM – The ORACLE, David Cherniack, 52’|English |Tibetan |English subtitle
Can spirits enter this world by taking possession of a human body?
Cloaked in secrecy for almost 400 years, the State Oracle of Tibet, or Nechung, has been a strange and mystical aspect of the Tibetan Buddhist tradition. The physical vehicle of the ancient spirit called Dorje Drakden, which has inhabited a succession of thirteen human mediums, advises the Dalai Lama and the Tibetan Government in Exile on matters of public and religious policy. To witness the eerie spectacle of the medium entering a trance state is to confront profound questions about the very nature of human consciousness.
With permission from the Dalai Lama that had never been granted before, THE ORACLE explores this ancient practice of consulting spirits.
9.00 PM – LIGHT AT THE EDGE OF THE WORLD, National Geographic Production, 47’|English |Tibetan |English subtitle
National Geographic documentary in which Wade Davis, accompanied by Matthieu Ricard, examines Buddhist practice in the Himalayas.There’s something about the inherent tolerance of Buddhism that is inherently attractive. It’s totally non-judgmental. There’s no notion of sin, there’s no notion of good and evil, there’s only ignorance and suffering. And this is the most important thing, it places all emphasis on compassion; you do not embrace negativity.
Buddhism asks the fundamental question: What is life and what is the point of existence?
Wade Davis goes on an anthropological and spiritual journey into the Himalayas of Nepal to learn the deepest lesson of Buddhist practice.

Lost in time, the Himalayan Kingdom of Mustang is one of the last sanctuaries of authentic Tibetan Buddhist culture. But, long isolated by geography and politics, the people struggle to survive and the center of their culture, the fifteenth century monasteries and the art within are dangerously close to collapse.

6.00 PM – HISTORY OF MOMOS, Tenzin Tsetan Chokla, 10’|Tibetan | English subtitle
A Tibetan man living alone in Seoul, Korea remembers his real home far away in the Himalayas. With no friends and family around in this new city, food connects him to his past and his people.
6.15 PM – FOLLOWING KUNSEL: SAVING OUR PAST FOR THE FUTURE, Thupten N. Chakrishar, 30’|Tibetan | English subtitle
For the last 50 years, the Tibetan Culture has been subjected to systematic destruction inside Chinese occupied Tibet as Tibetans are reduced to minorities in their own land.
Following Kunsel: saving our past for the future tells the story of Tibetans in exile who struggle hard, against all odds, to preserve their ancient and endangered culture. The story revolves around Tenzin Kunsel, an 11 years old popular Tibetan singer in New York City, her experience, education and feelings.
We follow her through her early years, the performances and we join Kunsel in her journey as she reaches for her ultimate dream.

4.30 PM – MELTDOWN IN TIBET, Michael Buckley, 40’|English | English subtitle
“The film draws its power and immediacy from the fact that Michael actually rafted down the rivers he discusses, and that he captured on film the spectacular and overwhelming quality of these greatest of Asian waterways. That he secretly filmed some of the very dams the Chinese were building on these rivers, provides the documentary the extra seal of authenticity, as it were. I may be getting a little picky here but the film seems to slow down a bit when it moves away from the rivers and goes into a general discussion on the Chinese presence in Tibet, and on Tibetan Buddhism and conservation. Nonetheless, Meltdown in Tibet is a very dramatic, informative and even entertaining film that strikes a powerful blow for the environmental and Free Tibet cause. Absolutely a must-see for Tibetans, supporters and friends” —Jamyang Norbu
5.20 PM – GYALYUM CHENMO: THE GREAT MOTHER, Rosemary Rawcliffe, 57’|Tibetan | English subtitle
Gyalyum Chemo and The Great Mother Archetype is the compelling life story of Dekyi Tsering, the mother of His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama. The Tibetan people call her “Gyalyum Chemo” or “Great Mother.” During the course of her extraordinary life, she gave birth to sixteen children, seven who survived, two of whom were recognized as incarnate lamas, and one who has been recognized by millions around the globe as one of the world’s leading ambassadors for peace.
6.20 PM – WOMEN OF TIBET: A QUIET REVOLUTION, Rosemary Rawcliffe, 57’|Tibetan | English subtitle
A Quiet Revolution is a celebration of the human spirit. For the first time on film, three generations of Tibet’s most dynamic and articulate women come together to share the wisdom that allows them to bridge their ancient and contemporary worlds, the sacred and the secular.
This is the account of women who have lost everything and then survived the perilous escape from Tibet across the high Himalayas. From their principal refuge in Dharamsala, India, to small settlements scattered across the globe, these women have become the architects and builders of the new Tibet. Their goal is singular–to impart to Tibetan children the strength and knowledge of their cultural heritage and spiritual wisdom.
