Khashyar | March 3, 2009

BUFFALO,NY- The “Dalai Lama Renaissance” Documentary Film, and it’s Producer-Director Khashyar Darvich, will both make their Buffalo and Western New York premiere on March 10, 2009, at Market Arcade Films & Arts, for two screenings and Q&A’s at 5:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m.

This will be the first time that “Dalai Lama Renaissance” will screen in Buffalo and Western New York.

The Western New York screenings follow the very well attended screenings in New York City at the Rubin Museum of Art on February 21, 22, 28 and March 1. The last screening at the Rubin Museum of Art was sold out.

“Dalai Lama Renaissance” has won 12 awards, and has screened in over 80 cities in the United States, as well as in theaters around the world.

‘Dalai Lama Renaissance’ tells the story of 40 Western innovative thinkers who travel to India to meet with the Dalai Lama to solve the problem of world peace. What happened was surprising and unexpected, and was captured by a five-camera, 18-person crew.

The film features two of the starring quantum physicists from the hit theatrical documentary ‘What the Bleep Do We Know,’ Fred Alan Wolf and Amit Goswami. Also appearing in ‘Dalai Lama Renaissance’ are Michael Beckwith (who appears in ‘The Secret’ with Wolf), Air America radio host Thom Hartmann, and other prominent figures.

This is the first film about the Dalai Lama and Tibet to open theatrically in the United States since the international spotlight placed on China for its firm handling of Tibetan protesters speaking out against Chinese policies in Tibet.

“I narrated ‘Dalai Lama Renaissance,’” says Harrison Ford, “because I believe His Holiness is making a positive influence in our world. For me, the film represented an opportunity to continue assisting the optimistic efforts of an extraordinary individual.”

John Griffin of the Montreal Gazette calls ‘Dalai Lama Renaissance’ “a provocative, even enlightening film… fascinating, ravishingly beautiful and sonically soothing.” Film Threat Magazine’s Rick Kisonak said ‘Dalai Lama Renaissance’ is a “comedy sensation,” adding, “I can’t remember the last time a movie made me laugh so hard.”

‘Dalai Lama Renaissance’ is among the top-grossing theatrical documentaries of 2008-2009. This important film on human rights and world peace has screened in more than 80 cities around the U.S. and is the official selection of 40 film festivals around the world where it earned 12 awards. The film has attracted record audiences at film festivals and theaters around the U.S. and around the world. The film’s official webite is www.DalaiLamaFilm.com.

Location: ARTSPACE Buffalo is located at 1219 Main St, Buffalo, NY 14209
