"Tibet in 49 Seconds" is an OPEN CALL for Tibet-inspired videos of 49 seconds in length (this is the length WITHOUT titles). March 10th of this year marked the 49th anniversary of the Chinese communist occupation of Tibet. Also, in Tibetan Buddhism there are 49 days in which the mind traverses a 'state between' (bar-do) death and rebirth.

49 years; 49 days; - Please post your 49 second long video response, whether it be a talking head, an artful edit, a flight of fancy or a heartfelt piece showing/describing your own personal connection to Tibet. Just make it about Tibet....in 49 seconds..and put "Tibet in 49 Seconds" into your title or description.

Tibet Connection will be posting new videos from now through March 10, 2009 - the 50th Anniversary of the occupation - to draw awareness to the people and culture of Tibet.
