“Creating Buddhas” is an hour long documentary about a western woman who creates Buddhas out of silk. Fabric thangka is a silk embroidered and appliquéd art form in Tibetan Buddhism. Fabric thangka is so rare that in some places it is only seen once a year. Trained in Dharamsala, for nine years, Leslie Rinchen-Wongmo is one of the few female makers in world. She became a master of a male tradition and we see fabric thangka through feminine eyes.
