San Francisco Renown Tibetan musician Techung will join filmmaker Khashyar Darvich at the Sunday Feb 15 (4 p.m.) and Monday Feb 16 (7:15 p.m.) screenings of “Dalai Lama Renaissance” at the Red Vic Theater

Khashyar | February 14, 2009

SAN FRANCISCO- Renown Tibetan musician Techung, who wrote and recorded all of the Tibet music forΒ ”Dalai Lama Renaissance”, and who recently peformed at Carnegie Hall with Phillip Glass, will be joining “Dalai Lama Renaissance” Producer-Director Khashyar Darvich for Q&A’s at the Red Vic Theater in San Francisco.

Techung will join Khashyar at the Sunday 4 p.m.Β and Monday 7: 15 p.m. screenings of the film at the Red Vic.

It is also possible that another very special guest may join Khashyar and Techung at the Monday 7:15 p.m. screening.

Techung is one of the most respected Tibetan musicians in the world, with his music used in other films.

His biography is below:

Tashi Dhondup Sharzur (Contributing Music)

Techung is a prominent Tibetan singer/songwriter living in exile in the San Francisco Bay Area. He is best known for his performances of traditional Tibetan music, dance, and opera under the name Tashi Dhondup Sharzur. He uses his childhood nickname, Techung, when performing as a solo artist. Whether performing in traditional or contemporary styles, Techung’s dual goals are to revive Tibetan music in the Tibetan community and to expose the rich performing cultural tradition of his homeland to the world community. In addition to being looked up to as one of the key keepers of traditional Tibetan musical traditions, Techung is also respected for the original solo and collaborative music he creates by drawing on both his own heritage and his familiarity with other world music traditions. Techung’s voice and music have been featured on the soundtracks of the IMAX film “Everest,” the feature film “Windhorse,” the documentary films “Stranger in My Native Land,” “Tibet’s Stolen Child,” and “Three Days for Tibet” (about a concert in Dharamsala with Joan Osborne, Zakir Hussein and other musicians). His music was also featured on PSA’s for the Milarepa Fund (promoting the 1999 Tibetan Freedom Concert), Students’ For a Free Tibet’s DVD demo “Tibet Will Be Free”, and Amnesty International (soliciting support for the human rights case of Ven. Palden Gyatso), as well as on an audio book by Diki Tsering titled “Dalai Lama, My Son.” His music is currently being used in the documentary film “What Remains of Us” which was selected at 2004 CANNES film festival. His music will be used in the upcoming Tibetan feature film “Dreaming of Lhasa” (working title: Poison Charm) directed by Tenzing Sonam and Ritu Sarin.

“Dalai Lama Renaissance” extends U.S. theatrical release as a result of strong demand from audiences and theaters DVD release date extended to April 1

Khashyar | February 7, 2009

LOS ANGELES- Because of strong demand from audiences and movie theaters, “Dalai Lama Renaissance” has extended its theatrical exhibition in the United States through March 31, 2009, so that additional theaters will be able to screen the award-winning documentary for theatrical audiences.

As a result, the DVD release date of “Dalai Lama Renaissance” has been rescheduled for April 1, 2009.

“Dalai Lama Renaissance” (which is narrated by Harrison Ford, and Produced and Directed by Khashyar Darvich), began its U.S. theatrical exhibition on May 23, 2008, and has screened in over 80 U.S. cities.

The film, which has won 12 international awards, has been held over at several theaters in the United States where it has been scheduled, including at the Roxie Theater in San Francisco, CA and the Hollywood Theater in Portland, Oregon (both of which held the film over for 2 additional weeks).

At the Harkins Valley Art Theater in Tempe, Arizona, “Dalai Lama Renaissance” set the single day ticket sales record at the theater, selling more tickets in a single day than any other film in the history of the theater.

On January 23 and 25, 2009, “Dalai Lama Renaissance” had the largest audience turnout in the 25 year history of the Cleveland Museum of Art, according to Museum Film Program Director John Ewing.

Recently, the Drexel Theatre in Columbus, Ohio, and the Circle Cinema in Tulsa, Oklahoma, both extended the exhibition of “Dalai Lama Renaissance.” Circle Theater manager Amberla Tepe said that “Dalai Lama Renaissance” is attracted larger audiences than any other film playing at the theater. At Columbus’ Drexel Theatre, “Dalai Lama Renaissance” has outperformed some of this year’s Oscar-nominated films.

The Film also has also been released theatrically in other countries of the world, and has been translated and subtitled into several languages, including German, French, Italian, Hebrew, Chinese and Japanese.

Screening the “Dalai Lama Renaissance” documentary in China

Khashyar | December 27, 2008

Hello Everyone,

I would love to be able to screening “Dalai Lama Renaissance” in China with the intention of creating freer communication between the Chinese people and the Dalai Lama.

I would be happy to travel to China, hold a screening of the film, and then have an open dialog during the Q&A with the Chinese audiences about the film, and my personal experience with the Dalai Lama.

The stumbling block, of course, is the Chinese Government, which feels threatened by the Dalai Lama. The Government of China calls the Dalai Lama a “Terrorist.”

It’s incredible how the label “terrorist” is now used for any person or group that opposes the ideas or policies of a state. (Thank you President Bush).

But, I would like to find an opportunity to screen “Dalai Lama Renaissance” in China, and want to look for ways to do this.
