Due to the manifold blessings of working with Dr. Amit Goswami on a documentary project called 'The Quantum Activist', we had the opportunity to meet Director Khashyar Darvich for Amit's screening of the Dalai Lama Renaissance, which Amit stars in.

The synchronicity of having the Gaden Monks visiting in July while screenings of the movie were taking place at the best film festivals around the world, created the idea of holding a fundraiser for the Gaden Monastery with the screening in Yachats. Khashyar will be available to introduce and discuss the film.

An incredible opportunity to see a preview release of an award winning film, and meedt the director!

Film Synopsis
At the edge of the Millennium, The Dalai Lama of Tibet invited 40 of the West’s leading, most innovative thinkers in their respective fields to his residence tucked away in the Himalayan mountains of Northern India to discuss the world’s problems and how we can solve them. What transpired was unexpected and powerful, and was captured by an 18 person, 5 camera film crew. The Wakan Foundation for the Arts took its 18 person crew to India and shot more than 140 hours of video footage during the week-long meeting and exploration of the future of mankind-- enough gripping and beautiful footage to make a powerful and cinematic documentary. The resulting feature-length documentary, “Dalai Lama Renaissance,” has already received a very positive response, and will be widely released and distributed in the second half of 2008. “Dalai Lama Renaissance” is narrated by actor Harrison Ford.
