Pema Tseden Wife: Was Pema Tseden married?

Tibetan film director, Pema Tseden did not have a wife at the time of death. There are no records of his wife or any member of the family who was survived by him.

It is believed that he kept his personal life very private and completely away from the public. However, his only known ‘family’ was the Chinese Film Academy where he taught as a professor.

“Pema Tseden, a famous Tibetan director, screenwriter, and professor at the Film School of the China Academy of Art, died in Tibet in the early hours of May 8 due to an acute illness. Due to the sudden incident, the school will work with Mr. Tseden’s family to deal with the follow-up matters. The relevant information will be announced in due course,” the Academy said in a statement.

Born in December 1969, Pema Tseden graduated from Northwest University for Nationalities where he majored in Tibetan Language and Literature. He continued his education at the Beijing Festival Academy and became the first-ever Tibetan student.

Tseden was known for producing several movies including The Search, Old Dog, The Sacred Arrow, Jinpa, Balloon, and more. He was reportedly working on a film titled Snow Leopard and another production when he died.
