NEW YORK, NY — ‘Dalai Lama Renaissance,’ the feature documentary about the Dalai Lama narrated by Harrison Ford, premieres theatrically in New York City at the prestigious Rubin Museum of Art on February 21, 2009.

‘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.

Screening dates and times for ‘Dalai Lama Renaissance’ at the Rubin Museum of Art are:
  * Sat., Feb. 21, at 4 and 6 p.m.
  * Sun., Feb. 22, at 4 and 6 p.m.
  * Sat., Feb. 28, at 4 and 6 p.m.
  * Sun., March 1, at 4 p.m.

Producer-Director Khashyar Darvich will attend the screenings on Feb. 21 and 22 to discuss the film with audiences.

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.

Media interviews are available.

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.

More information about the theatrical and DVD release of the film can be found on the film’s official website: www.DalaiLamaFilm.com
